Second cutting of hay...

The rains have stopped for a few days and it's time to make the second cutting of hay. They cut it yesterday and today they are working hard to get it bailed, going two at a time!

Now that's teamwork. Great shot of these busy guys.

[Milanie]

It sure gets busy when the rain stops this time of year

[Kate]

Will the large bales be moved into a hay barn or stacked in the field?

[KV]

Lovely farm shot.

[Ellen Bogenschutz]

I bet it smells good to! I like the smell of newly bailed hay.

[Pat Knowles]

It looks dry anyway....do hope they beat the rain. I love the smell of new mown hay! I have had my share of stacking hay bales in my time until we started making silage instead.

Lovely rural capture

[Kathy]

A great capture of farming. A hot and tiring job. I like your elevation.

[Pam]

I love to see the hale bales dotting the landscape. Fall is not far behind. Nice story, Gary.

[Melvina McCaw]

Oh I can smell it from here... So wonderful!

[Valerina]

Awesome shot!

[Taffy]

Well captured scene of the hard work on a farm.

@k9photo The large bales will be moved inside, out of the weather, where they will last much longer and be better feed.

@bubblequeen It does smell good, but today it is very dusty.

[GaryW]

@milaniet Indeed it does.

[GaryW]

@pattyblue The do work well together!

[GaryW]

@theredcamera It does! As long as it doesn't make you sneeze! :- )

[GaryW]

@happypat It is finally dry enough for a long enough period of time. Our soil is sandy so it does not retain moisture well, so now it is getting dry and dusty from now rain for more than a week. They are selling much of the hay, but use theirs for feeding sheep.

@randystreat Thanks! I was standing on the highest point of our property.

@taffy Thank you, Taffy! They do work hard!
