This Massey Ferguson 1840 small square baler on the Bob Rosenquist farm has been put to good use these past few days. The exclusive in-line baler design makes every small bale produced easier to handle, stack and feed. The Rosenquist’s MF 5470 tractor and their Mustang 2700V skid steer are helping to get this first crop harvested for the season. Hay is an essential component for any farm but weather can sometimes make growing, harvesting, and baling hay a challenge. All of the hot and dry weather we have been having has been great timing for our farmers to be harvesting their hay fields!
Feed Mill Update
Lodermeier’s completed the installation of the steel beam base for the feed mill update at Ag Partner’s this week. The base of the structure is manufactured by Lowry Mfg. and will hold new loadout bins for the feed mill.
The update at Ag Partner’s will allow the new system to drop multiple tons of product at a time. Lodermeier’s grain equipment team is heading the project and completing the installation for all the components and products.
The feed mill update will include a new two-ton scale hopper from Lowry Mfg. with a walk around mezzanine on top of the hopper and an 18” air gate on the bottom of the hopper. The update will also include nine screw augers from Lowry Mfg. with the augers being 10 inches in size.
Tote bag hoppers will be a component of the feed mill. There will be six tote bag systems from Easy Automation and six 350 TPH screw augers with 5hp motors and gearbox drives. Inlet hoppers from the tote bags to the augers will be installed.
A 14” round bottom drag conveyor from Schlagel will be installed to transfer drag to the mixer.
You can see the load out/ingredient hopper bins waiting to be installed in these pictures. The rectangular design of these bins allows them to be placed side by side. These welded steel bins are customized to hold and unload premixed feed products for Ag Partner’s. The hopper bottom allows for efficient load-out of bin access.
Check back soon to see these load out bins placed on top of the new steel beam base.

Ag Partner’s Loadout Bins
Here in Goodhue, we are fortunate to have Ag Partner’s in our community and supporting our local farmers. Ag Partner’s is adding new loadout bins to their current equipment setup and the project for this addition began this spring. This week, the Lodermeier employees used the crane, the JLG lift and the telehandler to install these white beams at the base that is being erected on the east side of Ag Partners’ grain structures. Stayed tuned for further details on the installation of this new piece for Ag Partners’ setup in downtown Goodhue.
