thank God you're round baling Sam


they were just coming into vogue when I left the farm.



when we got our own hay put up, I hired out to a crew to haul hay (mostly for large dairy operations)


.02.5 cents a bale,, yessir 2.5 cents a bale, if we hauled a 1000 bales in I made $25 dollars!


my the things you can talk an ignorant youth into doing!


it got a tad warm in the top of those metal hay barns in the summer when we were stacking it up high


and we hated the farmers that bailed so tight that the bales were closer to 80 lbs. than 60, but we hauled their stuff just the same


I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
