waiting until July
getting equipment ready
buying baling twine
clearing old hay and sweeping out the barn
watching the weather again and again
mowing the perimeter of the hay field
mowing the hay field
teding the hay
raking the hay
baling the hay
working in 80 degree weather directly in the sun
working a minimum of 3 days to get each batch
heavy lifting, lots of it, to stack hay
working inside a hot barn
weeding out any bales not dry enough to store
having equipment fails and scrambling to fix them
having lots of green dry nutritious hay for horses and farm animals
when hay is done well it is a rare commodity, Gene does it really well! Thanks Gene...
