Contract killing, rural Wisconsin style

I just don't have the words for this:
A 40-year-old rural Boyceville man is accused of offering a hay baler to have another Dunn County man killed because he had romantic feelings for the man’s girlfriend.
...
Lemon gave the agent a .44-caliber handgun from his home and agreed to give him a hay baler in exchange for taking care of Dean.
Ugh. A hay baler? Everyone knows it ain't a murder for farm equipment deal unless you throw in a John Deere Combine.
