Yes, farming is very high tech now. I do have several tractors but none much bigger than 100 HP, and none with a guidance system. I’m not big enough to pay for those items.

We bought a Vermeer big round baler in the early 70s. Dad was the first in the county.

I am impressed and never knew it was called a Vermeer which sounds like a Dutch name... like New Holland equipment. I read that haying was one of the most dreaded farm jobs back in the day. That it was hot and dusty due to the time of year it was done. A round baler sounds 1000 times nicer if I am a farmer or his sons.
