Baling hay

The last step to our haymaking was collecting and baling the hay. It was a pretty windy day so we collected the hay using big black construction bags. We split up into two teams with everybody helping.

Then we took the hay over to the hay baler and made hay bales :) It was actually quite easy and even fun.

The happy balers. LOL. We made nine bales of hay, not bad for the small area we hayed. They are not at tightly compressed as what a baler could make and generally about 12 x 15 x 30" long. A nice size for our needs.
