Born in 1950 I loved bailing so much I helped my neighbor bail hay for free as a kid for his dairy. We use to drink fresh whole unpasteurized milk for 50 cents gal. If I was going through life again, hay processing would be at the top of my thoughts.

Nice video. In high school (central Missouri; late 60s) I worked on a custom hay hauling crew every summer. 4 dudes and a truck, no bale loaders, no automation except for the truck. We hauled from 60,000 to 80,000 bales per summer, depending upon weather, etc. Hard work; good money (2 cents per bale per person; 4 cents per bale for the truck) for a high school kid in the late 60s, and got me in shape for football 2-a-day practices in mid-August. I generally made twice a much as my buddies who worked other summer jobs.

I remember my grandpa's hay barn (it' was an actual barn-barn with hand hewn timbers held together with wooden pegs)...my cousins and I used to climb to the top of the bales of hay and play king of the hill. Keep in mind they were not stacked ANYTHING like what you all do! There also always seemed to be a soft pile at the bottom from the loose straw that'd fallen out of the bales, or from the occasional bale that'd fall apart. Great memories...inspired by your hard work in the sun. Keep it up.

This reminds me of my part time work bailing hay in Winchester, VA. When the Army would trun me loose for a weekend I'd drive 2 hours to work on a farm for room and board. It beat sleeping in a barracks with 50 other GIs. Any vacation time was on the farm. I loved itl As far as you lawn cutting neighbor is concerned....You can't fix STUPID I'm 77 and this video brought back some EXCELLENT memories. Thanks from San Diego, CA

Really enjoyed your video. I remember bailing as a kid in Scotland in the 1960's. There was a sledge towed behind the bailer where you had to stand on round steel bars on the bottom and shepherd the bales into a pattern. It seems very dangerous now...We had orange squash and cheese sandwiches for lunch and back to the farm for food at the end of the day. Happy days.

My grandfather had the bailer that shot the bails in the air so we would ride on the flatbed trailer w/ a backstop on it we towed behind the bailer and then stacked them after they came to a rest. Loved every minute.

I'm a central N.Y. guy from the Finger Lakes area. We lived on the edge of the suburbs, it was only 5 miles to my Aunt & Uncles dairy farm. If my mom couldn't find me she would call her sister. Yes Bea he's here. I would ride my bike out there , I spent as much time as I could out there . I LOVED cutting alfalfa & hay nothing like fresh cut , even now at 67 if I smell that it takes me straight back to the farm. I'm not a very big person, so I would operate the ol' super 77 WF Oliver with the IH baler , while my cousins would stack on the wagon. Sure miss those days. If I hadn't enlisted in the Army I would have been a farmer. I might be able to do a little of that yet , my wife & I are Veterans, we finally finished our military & Gov't service & we now live in Vt. & we're looking for some property , so maybe I'll get to do a little hating yet !! That was a real nice looking timothy, once your pop fertilizes it & it gets some H2o Ohhh boy .you guys probably use selfpropeled mowers in sted of moco's I'm sure. Can't wait to see the Massy video. My dad's brother use to sell Massy Ferguson equipment when I was a little shaver, of 5 or 6 yrs. Old. Be safe it can be dangerous, it's the nature of the beast. Be especially when you're in a hurry to stay ahead of the weather . Stay safe , that's great work!!👍👍👍🤠🚜

Really fascinating the differences between ohio and colorado. We prefer rakes that wrap the hay. Makes the rows more resistant to wind from afternoon storms and microbursts; which I've seen re-scatter entire fields in a single moment. Of course drying is also far less of an issue, thanks to the 9000' sun and super low humidity. Can cut and tedder one day and then start raking and baling the next. Also, 60# bales are the norm instead of 45#
