This is the typical way hay is made on Amish farms in Ohio other than the 24’ mower.

I wasn’t able to get footage of the wrapper wrapping the hay, but the mower is a 24’ double-action sickle bar mower, designed and built by Family Farm Innovations in Millersburg, Ohio.

Huge thanks to the family for allowing me to shoot a video of their operation.

About Back to the Roots podcast

We are Bryan Wood and Mike Kline. After nearly 2 years of talking about starting a podcast to offer a voice to the Organic Farmer we finally did it. Our goal for this podcast is to connect people with organic farmers across the country, from Amish country in Ohio and Indiana to farmers on the West Coast. Join us as we travel back to the agricultural roots of our childhood and have conversations with farmers who’s livelihood is Organic Farming.
