Haystack(s)

 

 

I took this photo back in the summer of 1967 in Greene County, Pennsylvania.

Since that day I have never seen another loose hay “Haystack”, not even in Amish communities.

Back in the day this is the way farmers managed their loose hay.

There was a knack to building a Haystack. You wound the hay around the center pole and at the top a hudder was constructed to repel rain & snow.
