First Cut Hay



Ryan running the square baler


Haying is a very busy time for us.  Since it completely depends on the weather, it can also be a stressful time.  This year we were pretty lucky.  All the rain earlier this spring really helped the hay crop.  The rain stopped, and we were able to cut.  Some nice wind and warm temps. made for a good harvest.  It's so nice that the boys are now old enough to really help with all the work.



Stacked and covered



About 1,500 square bales so far.  Still about half the field left.  So hopefully the rain stays away for a while yet.

Hay Rake, for flipping hay over.  Helps to dry it faster.
