A Powell farmer is helping keep his family and a few locals working, even when hard to find parts break. The Powell Tribune reports Rick Stroh bought an old combine header a few years ago and was warned that the manufacturer was no longer in existence. So, he did some searching in town and found Alex Baker. The fellow farmer does some 3D printing as a hobby. He was able to recreate all of the hundreds of needed pieces for Stroh’s combine. Baker keeps his own farm going with 3-D printed parts, too.
