BERT FREEMAN
INSTALLS HAY
FORK IN BARN
Kven though farmers are find
ing ways of doing jobs easier and
fasU-r it seams they do not have
much leisure time. Bert Free
man of the Ivy community in
Madison County figures he has
cut almost half the time it takes
to store his hay crops, but lie has
not had an opportunity to use the
abundant supply of locusts found
on his farm for bass fishinn bait.
Beit has installed a hay fork in
his large stock barn and can un
load a trailer load of loose hay
in 7 to 10 minutes. This is quite
a time and labor, saver as Bert
harvests about 30 acres of alfal
fa and the barn will store around
90 tons of loose hay.
The total cost of this labor sav
ing device amounted to a little
over $100.00 with Bort installing
the fork himself.
