Hi everyone, I watched a very interesting Youtube video recently showing two NH 'Stack Cruisers' I think they were, following two JD small balers. Apparently there were some 4000 bales of straw in the field or prairie more-like by our standards. To me, it begs the question to be working on that sort of scale wouldn't big rounds or big squares be a far more economical way to shift them to the storage area? Whilst the small bale blocks can be delivered conveniently it surely must take longer with an outlay of around I believe $220,000 per machine. Is there a big demand in the prairie States for small bales? In the UK there have been many methods tried for collecting small bales. The most common is the 'Flat 8' sledge towed behind the baler with a 'Flat 8' grab on the front-end loader. Others have included an elevator that is towed beside an enclosed trailer going back to the bale sledge which was manually dumped when it became full. For some reason the 'bale-thrower' attached to the baler never caught on over here. It's not possible to say that one method is really better than another because it is down to whatever suits each farmer, quantity to shift, horsepower available and age and size of the buildings. What in your opinions makes the most efficient small bale handling system from small scale to large scale? Thanks. DavidP, South Wales

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
