Long wait for hydrogen, fuel-cells to power farm equipment

Allis-Chalmers developed and demonstrated a fuel-cell tractor in 1959, but it will be years before the technology will be put to use on the farm. "It will be awhile before you see a fuel cell in a tractor," says Bruce Wood, president of ePower Synergies in Cordova, Ill. Wood was an engineer with Deere & Co. in Moline before starting his own company.
