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.

The Vermeer balers were made in Pella, Iowa. Farming is a hard business, often fraught with danger and sometimes lethal accidents. I’ve had a couple of very close brushes with disaster. Keep safe.
