revor Bales and his Bales Hay Farm and Ranch YouTube channel and Forney Industries, one of America’s longest operating family owned tool, equipment and accessory product companies, will be collaborating on YouTube content to appear on Bales’ channel. The partnership between these two is fitting in that Forney Industries continues to strengthen its position as one of the premiere metalworking tools, welding equipment and accessory brands in the farm and ranch industry. And Bales not only has a need for Forney products, but he can continue to use the new equipment to develop content and create conversations in many future episodes. Bales’ YouTube endeavor was featured in the spring edition of Cowboy Lifestyle magazine. It was that feature that caught the eye of Forney executives. Trevor’s partnership with Forney will include both on-air use and demonstration of Forney products, as well as off-camera testing of new products and equipment updates. “I’m excited to be partnering with Forney Industries,” Trevor Bales said. “We always have so much work to do around here on the farm, they really provide me and my workers with a lot of support. I can’t wait to show Forney off on my channel doing real work around the farm.” “We are excited to partner with Trevor Bales and see our metalworking products and welding

equipment be put to work around the Bales Hay Farm,” Forney announced in a statement. “Since 1932, Forney has been supporting farmers and ranchers like Bales and we are proud to have this 6th generation farmer on our team. We’re eager to see what’s in store for Bales and the rest of the crew at Bales Hay.” Trevor Bales is a 6th generation farmer, whose family began farming as homesteaders over 100 years ago in Buckeye, Arizona back in 1891. He, his family, and his whole crew of employees grow, harvest, and store feed for wholesale and retail customers to purchase throughout the year. Trevor started his channel in late 2019, and has already grown to over 29,000 subscribers and averages more than 250,000 views per month. He has worked with some of the biggest creators in the scene, and his sense of humor is a fan favorite with his highly engaged community of viewers and followers. Headquartered in Fort Collins, Colorado, Forney Industries was founded in 1932 and introduced the first publicly available arc welder in the 1940s. Today, Forney offers thousands of metalworking products within four categories: welding, abrasives, personal protective equipment and shop tools.
Forney is committed to providing the best product mix and most personal support services possible. We are large enough to source globally and sell nationally, yet remain humble to remember who it is we are actually working for and with.
