Today I was working for a man, I don't know if he wants his name shared, so for the ease of storytelling, I'll call him Mr. Oldman. Mr. Oldman grew up in SE Kansas. When he was 13, he was working on a hay baling crew. They were making wire tie square bales, and it was a wet year. He said they were having trouble getting hay done and the bales were very heavy. One day, Mr. Oldman was at the Allis dealer, and saw a truckload of the new rotobalers. Mr. Oldman, still 13, told the dealer that if he had the money, he would buy a new rotobaler and a WD tractor. The next time Mr. Oldman was at the dealer, the owner said "there's your rig", and pointed toward a new WD and rotobaler. Mr. Oldman said "I'm sorry, you must have misunderstood, I dont have any money". The dealer said "that's ok, you can pay me when you get the money". Mr. Oldman agreed, and began baling hay on his own. He said that the dealer had set up a kind of hopper over the baler pickup that would shake rock salt on the hay as he baled it, so he could bale greener hay. Mr. Oldman said that most farmers were skeptical of the hay, but come winter, the cows preferred the salty wet hay to the better hay they had. Mr. Oldman said he was able to pay off the baler the next summer.
Mr. Oldman then said one day after he had graduated high school, he was in the Allis dealer buying parts. The owner called him back to his office and handed him an envelope. The envelope had the money that Mr. Oldman had paid for the tractor and baler several years before. The dealer told him "son, you have no idea how many of those balers you have sold for me, consider that your commission!"
