ERTL Celebrates New Holland History with Farm Show Release

Kernel T.R. is a perky kernel of corn created in the 1970s to tell the inside story of the world's first Twin Rotor combine, the TR70 from Sperry New Holland. Inspiration for the Kernel T.R. with his dashing white mustache included another famous "Colonel" - Colonel Harland Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken fame.
