AUSTRALIAN farm machinery guru , Dr Graeme Quick, is widely known to many of our readers for his 10 farm machinery books.
One of them, The Grain Harvesters, has sold over 40,000 copies and is in its seventh edition.
But it's the story behind this well-travelled farm machinery engineer and author that's equally fascinating, as I found out recently during an on-farm interview. |

While technology has permeated virtually every facet of the modern enterprise, there are some verticals which remain resolutely low-tech . The construction industry is definitely one of the latter - but as Bob Dylan famously sang in 1964, "The Times, They Are A-Changin." |

University of Arizona students have been developing solar cars for a decade, but the one they're racing to finish right now is a little different.
It will have a solar panel that can track the sun - to increase efficiency by as much as 50 percent - and it will look more like a normal car, rather than a spaceship.
The car, dubbed the SolarCat, also has a back-up diesel engine that will use biodiesel. |

Most modern American water towers aren't recognized for their architectural style.
Addison hopes to be among the first with a new elevated storage tank that would double as a work of art.
Even more exciting to city officials is that wind turbines on top will supply enough power to run the tower as well as street lights on Arapaho Road. The $5 million project will also serve as a community learning center.
