Located in Murra Warra, Victoria, the Mills family farm runs a mixed operation focused on export hay and cereal crops. Mitchell works alongside his dad and the team, and when he’s not in the paddock, he’s behind the drone capturing machinery in action, including their new Jadan gear.
For years, the farm relied on a basic bale collection system towed behind the baler. While it grouped bales into threes, the heavy lifting still fell to the workers, and the team was starting to feel the strain.
Mitchell wasn’t heavily involved in the equipment setup, but the feedback from those who were was overwhelmingly positive.
“Dad and the workers have been really happy with Travis Stacey… They’ve had him as their baler mechanic already, so having him involved made everything easy.”
The continuity, knowledge and local support meant the transition to the Verti-Stack was smooth and stress-free.
“Being able to stack bales four high straight out the back of the baler really streamlined our operations.” – Mitchell Mills
The difference was immediate. What previously required multiple people and extended hours could now be completed faster, more cleanly and with far less effort.
“Being able to stack bales four high straight out the back of the baler really streamlined our operations,” says Mitchell Mills.
The Verti-Stack significantly reduced manual handling and labour strain, while delivering reliable, consistent stacking during the busiest periods of export hay season.

“We already have neighbouring farms interested after seeing how well it works and how much time it saves.” — Mitchell Mills
The Verti-Stack is sparking interest across the district as more growers look for ways to improve efficiency and reduce labour demands.
For the Mills family, the Jadan difference is about practical innovation that delivers real-world results. The Verti-Stack has reduced labour demands, saved valuable time and improved efficiency during the most critical parts of the season.
Backed by knowledgeable local support and equipment designed for Australian conditions, Jadan has helped the Mills farm move more hay with fewer people and far less physical strain, setting them up for long-term efficiency and growth.
