Back and Forth, Back and Forth
Two big stacks of straight alfalfa
Then another.
Green, leafy, and starting to leave for other homes, even as I write!

Now to fertilize the corn, cultivate the corn and cut the other 20 acres of alfalfa. Sigh!

It looks as if you had a very good crop of alfalfa. I hope it sells well.

While growing up, my folks bailed a LOT of hay and straw. At that time (I was born in 1951), haying systems were beginning to show up. I asked my Dad why he didn’t buy one and he told me that he already had one. His name was Mark (me). Dad’s philosophy was that the bigger the hay bale, the fewer you’d have to buck. As I recall, we baled an average of 10,000 -90 pound bales of alfalfa and another 4,000 bales of oat and wheat straw. You’ve never experienced heat until you’ve dragged hay bales in the trusses of a tin roofed shed in August!
My Dad finally bought a haying system the year I left for college. My six and a half year younger brother was thus denied the fun of handling bales like I had. I must admit that such activity kept me out of trouble as a kid.
