Interesting story.
How do they load a big bale of hay weighing half a ton or more?
Why would hay be left outdoors anyway?


With something as simple as this:http://tinyurl.com/bx3zy6m
There are many loaders made for tractors, skid loaders and pickups.
It isn't at all unusual for hay to be left outside. The bales might
rot a bit on the outside but the interior is usually fine.
We used to put what we could in the barn and stack the rest just
outside the cow lot. This was in the days of the 60-80 pound
rectangular bales. We loaded, unloaded, and stacked by hand.
Ranchers in the Nebraska Sandhills used to make hay stacks with
loose hay. A single haystack hehttp://tinyurl.com/ajxoece

bales, hay equipment etc.

Keep spinning and trying to move the goalposts

It's a sure sign that you realize you have once again been shown to be an
ignorant idiot.


The only thing silage and hay need have in common is they are both
animal feed and both might be made of grass.
