Making Hay...

Been helping Clark put up his first cutting of hay since I've decided not to go back to work at the restaurant. I can't do much until it's all cut and baled but at least I can help speed up the finishing process. I can't make him sleep (10 hours in three days is common) but if I bring the food to the circle he will eat.

Yesterday I drove the 5500 John Deere to pick up and group the round bales in the field.

Later we put the bales on the flatbed trailer and drove them to the hay yard.


As with all else, rising fuel and electric costs will raise the price of the crop this year. It will still be less than what Becky was paying in Reno last year.
