One of the locations we used in Stewiacke (pronounced stew-e-ack) Nova Scotia was on a farm. On our way out, we noticed a farmer driving a tractor with a baling machine and a large open trailer. Neither of us had ever seen this before … so I had to get out and take some photos … and video segments. Watching the automatic baling machine at work producing bales of straw was somewhat humorous to see.
Here’s what we saw:
