The google machine says 'windrow' is a noun, from 1520's, and it is called such because it is a row of grass exposed to the wind for drying.

[@two-strokesmoke7289]

Makes sense to me, also the wind can blow them away!!!!!!!

[@MrEst1953]

@@two-strokesmoke7289 its obvious is it not ?

[@themannwithaplan]

tbh i always thought it was the opposite... im 99.9% probably wrong but on our farm we cut, then leave to dry then ted and flip it all then dry again but when the moisture is just right we toss er in windrows to kinda conserve the moisture in the center of the windrow. it kinda protects the inner clumps, yea the outside dries quicker but thats why we chop asap. at the same time tho our farm is a resurgence farm (my dad was born on a farm and moved away to work then bought a farm with his retirement so returned to the farm life) so that being that we dont know as much as the 5th and 6th gen farms and so on. but we try our best on our dinky 100 acre farm. lol wish it was bigger id love to carry a cam around and do what these farmtubers do. its such great and informative content. yes i know our farm is small. we didnt buy it to turn a profit. we bought it to invest in the land. there is no safer investment then to buy farmland.... prices for actively farmed and turned land always go up.

On the farm in England, we would also say windrow, I think it's pretty universal and has to do with turning the cut end of the grass so the wind can dry it.

A windrow is a row of cut (mown) hay or small grain crop. It is allowed to dry before being baled, combined, or rolled. For hay, the windrow is often formed by a hay rake, which rakes hay that has been cut by a mowing machine or by scythe into a row, or it may naturally form as the hay is mown. en.m.wikipedia.org › wiki

[@asquithmainlines699]

Eyes wide open Cole, good spot on the barb wire. In Saskatchewan we call them swaths, I guess that term came from the fact you use a swather to make them before you combine? Most of it here is done east to west as our prevailing winds are usually out of the west and if you swath north to south your crop ( especially canola ) ends up in the neighbours field. That way the wind blows down your rows.

[@nialldaly7108]

Windrows, because before tedding, you turned the hay into small rows of hay called "Windrows" so they were airrated and the wind went through them to dry them. Nowadays all rows, be it for baling hay or silage for pickup are called windrows. same all over the world. Though in Ireland we tend to qualify the row by width of grass it contains, 10 foot, 20 foot, 30 foot or 50 foot rows and reserve "windrow" for hay, mostly though it varies throughout the country.

[@howardwilliams6129]

I hope you and all the farmers in the USA and CANADA get the rains that are so badly needed .

When I was younger we had an almond ranch. We used a sweeper to put the almonds in rows so they could be picked up & put in trailers. My dad called them wind rows too. Always wondered the same thing.

Windrow use to be a row of trees across a field to slow the wind speed usually seen near corn or wheat fields. Every area calls it something different.

Cole, try to be patient with your knee. You sound like my husband as he’s preparing to get recommendations from the Neurosurgeon after x-rays and MRI’s on his back to determine which nerves are impinged. He’s hyper and it’s driving him nuts waiting. Don’t feel worthless, you’re not. Your job is to not get hurt and heal properly so you can be there for your Dad. Luckily, one of the best Dr’s in Texas is a high school friend of ours who is going to offer a second opinion. He’s been a paraplegic since our sophomore year in high school when he and several friends went Dove hunting and somehow after he got in the pickup another friend threw his shotgun in the bed of the truck and it went off shooting him in the back. Horrible accident. We graduated and he went on to graduate with honors from Texas Tech and Tech’s Medical School. He specialized in orthopedics because of his own injury. He snow ski’s and water ski’s with special add on’s. He’s amazing. He’s still my Dr for the tibia fracture. My next surgery is after hubby gets his and is healing and stable. The dang plate is shredding a major tendon around my ankle. Good news is no cast just 6 weeks of walking boot and knee scooter use so that’s great news. Be patient with yourself!

I'm the only one old enough to remember loading loose hay on the "hay wagon". You raked the hay aligned with the wind (wind row) and loaded it "down wind". Actually I'm only 3/4 of a century old and never loaded loose hay, but it makes a good story!

[@margelittleboy]

Our old barn actually still has the pulley systems along the roof line used for lifting & pulling the loose hay to where it would lay. We use small 60 lb bales, I can’t imagine moving hay by the fork full back in the day! With only 2 horses can’t feed round bales, too much waste & mold. Whether done by the fork load, round, block or square, there is no easy way to bale. We buy from a neighbor & he brings his own elevator & puts the hay in the loft for us. It’s a win win - it’s in our barn & he doesn’t have to move it again. He can do it when it works for him & it’s put up in about 2 hrs max. A lot of his customers get it by the month, so he’s always handling it.

[@bobteter4300]
