Baling Hay, Northford, CT

June 30, 2011

Larry Auger and an unidentified farmhand making quick work of windrows of hay.  The baler, the green machine in the middle, takes up the hay and spits out the compressed bales into the trailing hay wagon.  The field was mainly grass with some alfalfa.  They were working with some urgency as a thunderstorm with heavy rain was forecast for later that nite ( and did arrive at 3AM).

Hay bailing sure has changed since I baled with a John Deere 600 back in the early 80s . Almost impossible to roll a bale as pretty and tight as those shown here . cls
