"Hay Baling Machine"

Butler Farm Show

Butler, Pennsylvania

 

This machine makes the rolls of hay that can be seen on farmland once hay is harvested. I loved the abstract quality of the machine's design ---both practical and beautiful.

 

Those large rolls of hay remind me of old-fashioned shredded wheat that used to come in a roll that was about 3 inches in diameter. When I was a child, we sprinkled the shredded wheat with sugar and poured milk over it, but the large pieces were difficult to break apart with a spoon. I usually ended up with milk on the table or myself. It was years before mini-wheats came out. Same taste, easier to eat.
