Since you’ve been in Parowan for a long time. Do you remember The Old Mill? It was past the cemetery on the way up to Brianhead. It burned down a long time ago. My grandfather owned it. I miss Parowan.

I’m 67 and I almost got kicked off the farm when I sold the first load of hay while my dad was away visiting my brother. I was 25 years old. I was so tired of seeing hay rot in the stack yards. My dad would say he could remember running out of hay and having to run cows up on the south east bench of the valley. He kept every bit of hay we put up. Some of the hay would three years old by the time fed I’d it. Top few layers would be rotten. So when I sold that first hay he was so mad that he nearly disowned me until I gave him the first check. We use to run 250 mother cows and would send them up Logan canyon in the summer. We put up hay all summer long. When I was really young it was put up loose. I remember the first small square baler. I was twelve years old. Mostly grass meadows. So when I started to sell alfalfa hay there was a big learning curve. You couldn’t go out and bale it any time of the day. But we dialed in on it in a short time and use to sell top quality small hay bales. Horse people loved it as well as dairy farmers. Then we went through the 80s where the banks tried to foreclose on us. If it wasn’t for us selling hay we would have been gone. Today I’m out of debt and would never borrow money from those blood suckers. It was hell going through it but today I wouldn’t change a thing. Now we run about 800 acres I own and next year will be running another 600. I love putting up hay. It has its stresses for sure but what doesn’t.

Thanks for sharing! There is nothing better than growing up on a farm! Have you ever considered investing in a steamer?

[@leighcowley9869]

StaheliWest of course. But we don’t put up enough hay to justify one. We usually only have about four hundred acres of alfalfa. They are way out of my league

[@mrsound-gard7556]

Brilliant production, great job guys. Hard to argue with them I think.

[@StaheliWest]

I agree. Now we need to get this video in front of people who are considering buying them. It is hard to argue with these farmers!

[@ehsankhadivi7695]

May God wish me to have a large agricultural farm like yours

[@williamkeehn3637]

This is a very good video and it's what it should be about everybody working together for better product back from on the first machine was built is it still being used

[@StaheliWest]

Thank you very much. There is a special farming culture in Parowan.

[@GraveMindII7]

I know this question is super super old but the first prototype machine still runs and makes steam. Hope ya see this!

[@hhhh-dg5fl]

Für was ist die 2 presse vor der ersten

[@StaheliWest]

Es ist ein Heudampfmachine. Es ist sehr trocken bei uns, und wir brauchen ein bisschen feuchtigkeit waehrend pressen

[@hhhh-dg5fl]

@@StaheliWest achso verstehe, vielen dank für die schnelle antwort

[@mach1man69]

Do you believe that with the steamer and the extra horsepower tractor that you've made money? I've baled hay in Washington for over 40 years. No way! You've lost money

[@StaheliWest]

You are welcome to run the numbers on your farm. This machine pays for itself! No doubt about it! We hear it time and time again! staheliwest.com/dewpoint-6210-hay-steamer/#return
