Making bales...

The baler runs over the windrows, collecting the hay and rolling it into a huge bale.
Certainly satisfying to watch

Fascinating watching this series of shots. When did they start making cylinders instead of boxes and why?

Must be fun to watch

Hoping the tractor operator is in an air conditioned cab, as hot as it's been.

@shutterbug49 I'm glad you like the series (it is fun for me to share!). The cylinder shapes are much larger and don't require physical handling to transport. It can all be done by tractor. Also, many farmers prefer the larger round bales to feed their livestock because it requires less trips to the barnyard.

@danette Yes, I must admit, I enjoy it!

@cwbill They likely weigh around 1000 pounds each.

@janetb Thanks, Janet. I actually enjoy the writing almost as much as the photography. I like sharing what I see and enjoy!

@randystreat Actually, he is not! Temperatures soared to close to 100 degrees during this time. He drank lots of water!!
