Steffe Uses Big-Scale Haying Methods: Above are pictured the hay rake and stacker, said by local farm authorities to be the only combination of its kind operating in Michigan, which Owen Steffe of Whitmore Lake is using to gather in a crop of 125 acres of alfalfa hay on the Huron Valley farms on Whitmore Lake Rd. During the season he uses it on a number of farms for which he harvests all the hay grown. This strange combination consists of a huge rake drawn by two horses hitched individually at the two ends and a huge mechanical arm which scoops up a young haystack at one swoop and hoists it up on the growing stack. The crop shown in the picture above is running about two tons to the acre of exceptionally fine hay.
