Bruce, as I am sure you are aware, your poor turnip farmer is haying with equipment that costs more than an A1 Special. His bailer would easily cover the price of a nice 28 gauge V or maybe a G. Farming has gotten more expensive since the day my dad bought a new Minneapolis Moline ZB tractor for $1,800--in 1956. Of course back then you could have purchased a 20 gauge CHE from A & F for around $300.

And the hay is sold. Oh happy happy day!
Now if only the turnips produce, there may be a Parker in the future. |
