Paul, thanks for the info. The farmer I referred to, who drove a Super MTA hitched to a New Holland baler by the way, had the same idea about letting the hay breathe by stacking the bales on edge. I worked up in the haymow at that farm with a 62-year-old hired man who had spent his whole life there. His name was Andrew. He never learned to drive--except a team of horses. I recall sitting in the classroom at my grade school just down the road from the farm, and here would come Andrew, driving by with a team on the manure spreader, as proud as he could be. It used to be comical in the mow...instead of letting a load or two pile up so the later bales would come off the elevator and roll to us at the other side of the barn, Andrew would insist on carrying every one, the hard way. More than once a bale would roll off the elevator and catch him on the noggin, while he was digging one out from below. Never could get him to do it the other way. With every new load that came in from the field, Andrew would get a twinkle in his eye, shake his head and say, "Well, no rest for the wicked. We must be pretty wicked." Then he'd cackle at his own joke and climb back into the mow. Great memories. Take care. (Oh, almost forgot. My first summer there I made $.75 an hour.)
