Haying Over in Wyoming

A long time ago, I promised to put up some pictures of the way farmers stack hay out here.

Stumbled across these pictures this morning posted by one of the boys over in Wyoming.

Have a good one,

They call it modern dairy farms.

Yep, the truckers really like the big squares because they can get a better weighted load.

Those semis roll out of here year round; all a goin' somewhere. :>)

So I have a question. How do you keep it from spoiling beins it appears to be nothing but a great big square bale and square bales don't weather well?

Thanks,

Mark

I think I need to go out and take a few pictures of the hayfields around here. Many times, you'll see 30 or 40 stacks like this in a field, just waiting to be moved at the end of the season.

Hay just does not "spoil" here with our limited rainfall. So, I don't know what yer talkin' about. :>)

Yes, there is lots of irrigated land out here. Looks this way every year.

Notice the land plane beside the stack? Just about has to be flood irrigated on this particular farm.

From the looks of the soil, I think the picture was probably taken over around Torington in the Pathfinder Irrigation District, which gets it's water down from the Guernsey Dam.

Nice-looking piece of alfalfa.
