Cured Hay
Gene and his son Bob were harvesting hay in large rectangular bales along SR 39 in LaPorte County Indiana. The bales weigh 1700 pounds, which is what caught my attention. I am used to seeing small bales that can be manhandled and thrown onto a trailer or large round bales. Gene said that his son loads these onto a semi using a tractor with forks. The hay had been cured for two days and raked into rows by Gene. Bob operated the John Deer baler. During the winter Bob sells the hay to people for their cattle and horses.
