Leroy milks about 250 dairy cows, farms 800 of grain land and the rest of their farming operation is used in silage production. Just after Leroy had finished their first cutting of hay, he noticed New Holland’s 1st Cut Competition on Facebook and quickly snapped a picture of his New Holland Dream Team.

Each winner of the 1st Cut Competition receives a one-year lease or the first 1,500 bales, whichever comes first on a New Holland Roll-Belt 450 Silage Special. Leroy said they don’t typically put up many round bales each year, so it will be something new for their family run operation.
