True story: When I was a young kid, my dad bought a brand new NH 269. Not sure of the year but it was probably in the late 60s-early 70s. After it had been purchased, the salesman told my dad that he would get a free TV set because he purchased this baler. My dad just laughed at him, but about two months later, the salesman shows up on our place with about a 12-inch GE tube TV. We already had a 25" Curtis Mathes color console TV in our house (completely round picture tube, solid wood cabinet, THREE speakers, lol!), so dad put the little 12" tube TV in our shop. During the winter on Saturday mornings my brother and I were allowed to watch Scooby Doo in the tool shed, while we worked, of course. We thought we had it made. As for the baler, we put put quite a few hundred thousand bales through it. Our dairy cows were always hungry and we had lots of alfalfa that we always had to bale. I first learned how to bale with that thing being pulled behind a John Deere G during the summer between my kindergarten and 1st grade year. Today it would be called child abuse, but it's what we had to do to keep food on the table. My dad has passed, but mom still has that baler parked in the weeds. It was very dependable.

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer.
