Handy Devices

Paul Milbradt, Belview, Minnesota, uses old telephone poles to give a lift to his round bales. He lies the poles parallel on the ground, spaced 4 feet apart, and stacks the bales on top of the poles by driving over them with his tractors. Milbradt loads and unloads from both ends of the stack. The poles keep the bales high and dry off the ground -- and more. That extra space gives his cats access to a healthy supply of field mice.
