Doing Hay~

It has been kind of busy around here with doing hay.  First the field has to be mowed.  After we mow it the hay then has to dry some.  We dry it till it is around 60 percent moisture.  After it is dry enough we have Abby merge it.  We put several win rows into one. 

Then it is ready for my hubby to start chopping it!  He drives the chopper while someone else drives the dump truck along side of him. We have either 2 or 3 trucks going to keep up with the chopper.

When the truck is full it is then taken to the bunk to dump off and be packed into a pile.

Ben gets the fun job of driving the tractor "pushing pile".  After we are finished with this cutting of hay we then cover the pile.  That will be a whole nother post though!
