Learning about an ag milestone, looking to the future

Ever wonder what it means to start a revolution? We're not sure Gary Vermeer knew that this was what he was doing, but when his first large round baler hit the market 50 years ago, it was what we often call today a "game changer." But we wanted to know more. We connected with Mindi Vanden Bosch, who heads up the forage solutions group at Vermeer; and Mark Core, executive vice president and chief marketing officer to talk about the company's history. Since Vermeer was founded in 1948, we wondered what Vermeer was doing before he built that first large round baler. Photos courtesy of Vermeer
