AMISH HAYING
Near LaGrange, Indiana, this is a common sight — an Amish farmer with his work horses, mowing the hay in his fields.
The next step will be to turn the hay over to let it thoroughly dry before the next step can be done.
Ah, the aroma of freshly cut hay is heavenly.
Once the hay is dried, it is placed on a wgon by using pitchforks and moved to the barn for storage.
The importance of drying the hay is of utmost importance. Otherwise, the hay will become moldy or will start a fire in the barn.
During the winter when the pastures have no grass for grazing, I’m sure the critters who will be eating the hay will appreciate it!
