- At the 2024 Hay Day at the Theibauld Homestead near Vevay , Ind., the Switzerland County Historical Society demonstrated the hay press barn that was used almost 200 years ago to create large hay bales that were then taken down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to the Gulf of Mexico and then sailed up the eastern seaboard where they were used to feed the thousands of draft animals used in the cities.
We'll have a full episode on our Rural Heritage on RFD-TV episode in September but for now, here's a little rough footage from today's shoot.
Love seeing this done. Thx.
That is massively amazing. I love it, and there at the end, they tied off the bale. That is exactly what I do when I don't use the entire bale of hay. I tie it off exactly the same way.

I love the video. I seen one in a old grain barn here in Illinois whe I was a kid. I thought it as an elevator but my dad told me what it was . It didn't have any of the ropes on it anymore. It was about 50 years ago.
👍 neat!!! I have never seen anything like this before even in some Amish guys I knew. I like this, it's basically the same as a cardboard baler only much older.
That's so cool. Such a simple, effective means of baling hay.
Wow!! That is amazing, Thanks for sharing.
As an architecture student I documented a similar hay press that was on a farm in Henry County, KY. Great to see a functioning example!!
Cool never see something like this. 👍👍
So the first hay baler cool funny how things start out
Vevay is a really cool town. I live about an hour away from it
Wow that is awesome!
Very interesting. Never seen anything like that before.
The description says that those were baled for sale/transport, which makes perfectly sense. You wouldn't need that extra effort if you just wanted to use the hay locally.
Thanks a lot for sharing!
Now i understand why square bales were a thing, they were modelled after this machine
I grew up in Vevay Ind , and we put up hay loose and had threshing every summer
Our barn on the family farm was built in 1962, and was equipped with a hay fork on overhead track for filling the barn with loose hay, but they had switched to small bales by the time i showed up. I had never heard of this particular way of making hay. Was this done for hay used on-farm, or only for hay that was sold? I had never thought of it, but there were thousands of horses in cities that needed to be fed, and this would have been much easier to transport than loose hay.
Bald dude has never held a pitchfork before
Very nice video.
Thank you very much!
Fantastic information! I wonder if the bio-processed water is just H2O or whether it has sap juices such as sugars like maple sap.
I like vidio you💪💪💪
A literal Bailey. HILAROUS. before Sauron s corporate collectivist age....
I wouldn’t be able to breathe for a month.
So, overheard when they finally finished, was the phrase : Now, that's the last straw ! 😖 😜 🤓 😁

forget those electric vehicles, this is your green energy future... also was the green past. but its also a lot of work
What most ecology minded people don't understand is that this type of work and Machinery is the only green solution to the mechanized world we have around us now
