Another Shelbyville invention, the first commercial pick-up baler, was designed and developed by Raymore McDonald, as conceived and financed by [[Horace M. Tallman]] and his two sons, Leslie and Gentry.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.asabe.org/awards-landmarks/asabe-historic-landmarks/ann-arbor-baler-13.aspx | title=Ann Arbor Baler - 1980 | publisher=Asabe.org | accessdate=18 April 2014}}</ref> These balers were marketed for many years by the Ann Arbor Machine Company of Shelbyville. This concept of field processing of farm forages made a significant contribution to the efficiency and economy of harvesting in the world's agriculture. This basic field pick-up mechanism has been used in over 15 million balers.  The [[American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers]] designated Shelbyville as an historical landmark of agricultural engineering, of which there are only 47 in the entire United States.  Mr. Tallman's home has been restored and is on the [[National Register of Historic Places]].  Located on West Main Street, the Tallman home is currently part of the Shelby Inn.
