Baling hay

On Thursday afternoon, the pasture grass in the large field across the road was ready to bale.
Regina was raking the hay into windrows

Carl rode along to learn this task...

After finishing tedding the "horse pasture" (smaller field across the road), Patti rode along to learn from Regina too.
Neither of us felt confident enough to take on the raking task...

Jimmy came with the big round baler. (You can see their house across the road.)

Carl started riding along with Jimmy to learn about baling, while Regina continued the raking.

After riding along for a while, Carl drove the tractor with the baler - with supervision from Jimmy. This video shows the finishing of a round bale and the baler dumping it out on the field.


The large pasture grass field was completed in round bales by Thursday evening.
