The yearly cycle of baling our grass hay is upon us. Today, the bales were stacked in the barn. We hired two young men, and 3 friends helped, so there were 7 people total here. The crop is pretty normal, 547 bales (from about 5 acres). Everyone is really tired and I am very grateful that our hay is done. The best of all, no machine breakdowns! I must go, it is time to feed the hoard some burgers, salad, and dessert.
