Welp, I got the Massey#10 out to do the second cut, started down a row and the first bale didn't tie...neither did the next twenty! Neighbours stopped in and had a look, offered some opinions, finally I said I would wait 'til the son-in-law got home from work. I worked in the barn for an hour or so, then decided I would have another look. I stood there studying the knotters for about 10 minutes and I noticed the little arm that rides the knotter was sitting out about a half inch from where it should be, poked with my finger and it snapped back into place..HMMMM..neighbours came in again and we decided to clean and oil everything associated with this arm and pivot, started the baler and did 240 bales with one miss...now go figure, the baler is always inside but it was definitely rust that kept it from functioning. I was ready to get the round baler out and get 'er done. I did want small squares to put up in the mow. On a freezing snowy blowing day I find it nicer to throw 8 or 10 small squares down that get the tractor out to get a big round out. This gives me around a thousand small squares the rest is rounds..anyway when a baler works right its a charm, when it doesn't it is the most frustrating situation..Oh yeah and I had just put a new tire on it($93) and 15 teeth @$4.09 ea..so I was expecting it to work..alls well that ends well....*^%&!% Baler!

Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
