James Dunn from Oura with his steam chaff-cutting plant, was a familiar sight in the Wagga district during harvest time.
Robert James (“James”) worked on his father’s “Bloomfield” estate until he was about twenty years old; then he started in business as a produce merchant in Wagga Wagga. This expanded to include contract chaff cutting and general wholesale produce. James was prominent in the hay and chaff industry for many years. (Sherry Morris).
