Haying - July 2009
I can hardly believe that this year marks our 11th. year on the farm and our 12th. hay harvest, and this is the first time that we took the time to get photos. Of course being that this years harvest was the smallest in our history here made for a more relaxing three days of harvest which also left some time to get a few photos and with the wonders of digital imaging we can now snap away and choose some of the better ones to keep and share.
Thanks to our good neighbors David and Linda Radka and David's keen interest in farming and farm equipment we have hay in the barn again. I have to tell you a little about David's fleet of tractors that are in these photos. The most seasoned machine just turned a mere 70 years old this summer, a 1939 McCormick Farmall model "M" better known as "M" or the "M" around the farm. Then there is a 1950 something Massey Ferguson 265 a very common and much loved workhorse of it's era. Last but not least and one year old bright orange Kubota. To me this is an awesome display of mechanical progression of small farm equipment. David even let me run the baler for a while this year!!
