My uncle baled square bales when I was a kid. As a 6 to 9 yr old girl my job was to roll bales close to the truck for easier pick up. Then after I got to sit while the boy cousins stacked the bales into the barn. It was great being a girl then. That was 65 years ago and I can still smell the alfpha and still itch.

I’m a KZbin viewer of your channel . I follow Sonnefarms and seeing all this first cut hay I am so happy for you guys just knowing that you all are hopefully going to have one less thing to worry about this coming Winter . I imagine that you all are sleeping a little bit better . Hoping to see y’all roll up much more 2024 hay crop . Good Hopes and Prayers being sent to your family and to all farmers and ranchers affected by drought, fires and floods. I depend on every single one of you . Thank you for everything you do and stand for . Good people need to be respected ,appreciated and recognized from time to time . Too many people don’t know where their food comes from .

I always like to watch haying season on the Sonne installation. You guys always illustrate proficiency as well as efficiency. I remember as a kid doing hay work when school let out. The most help we got was a one row paddle type rake. We stacked hay by hand on one farm and on another we bucked up on to a tall platform with a pickup extension out front. Self propelled it picked up bales faster than 3 guys could stack. The best days hayin were on vacation in MN when after raking we would get all the resort people (who wanted an outside cookin party) together and we would catch sacks full of frogs. Some resort locals would poach a duck or 2 and another would bring panfish. The real fun started when 2 tough acting boys from Chicago tried to run down a slow moving cat. They found out it weren't a cat. We were all happy that the boys chased that "cat" out of the resort and not down to the party. The boys were sent to the lake where they stood in the water up to their chins until someone got the de-skunking stuff to clean the boys up. I don't know what it was but it worked. I was too busy eating frog legs and duck to ask questions.🤤

Thanks for another great video Cole. It was interesting and most enjoyable. Busy day moving bales. I don’t think a lot of non farm people realize how much time and effort it takes to move the bales from the field into the farmstead. Time consuming process. Just simply takes time. You yourself invested three fourths of a day moving bales. You all moved 300 bales , that is a lot. Good to see Sonny helping out-ha!!!!! With uncle Jeff and your dad hauling also, you all moved a lot of bales. You hay crop is fantastic for sure. Good hay for the winter feed. Thanks for everything. You all take care and be safe. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

Going to be an early winter here in Minnesota. Farmers here where I live are having a very hard time putting up hay because of all the rain we are having. In seven days we got over 6” of rain, the week before about 7”, it’s been like this since spring. I asked my neighbor if he saw that no matter how much rain we get, puddles don’t even last 24. God is certainly replenishing the earth’s water supply this year!
