Raymond Alvah Hanson should have a Wikipedia page. I created the page after finding that there was a mention of him on the Wikipedia Combine harvester page, but no page or further information about Hanson. Hanson meets the Wikipedia criteria for a person/biography, he has received a number of honors and awards, and his inventions and production of those inventions have made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field He received recognition by the U.S. Department of Commerce for the coveted "E" and "E-Star" awards that are presented to firms by the president to recognize outstanding export success, the highest honor American companies can receive. On Sunday July 13, a plaque honoring Hanson's contribution to agriculture will be presented to Raymond Alvah Hanson, The plaque will be placed in Heritage Park in Palouse, Washington designating the spot as a Historical Agricultural Engineering Landmark.
