Made my first trip to your state 3 weeks ago. We were in the Charleston, Seabrook Island area, but did a little venturing around. If the rest of SC roads are like the ones in that area, you are right, it would be pretty dangerous and not much there to hay. Those roads were pretty tight with trees growing right up to the white line, and branches overhanging the roads everywhere.
Up here in rural MN like a lot of the Midwest things aren't tucked in quite so tight to the road. Along a lot of township, county roads and state highways there are pretty wide ditches and right of ways that are easily hayed.

The ditches around me are pretty rough. I have a neighbor who doesn't seem to care what he wrecks going after a couple of bales, so I am happy to let him have at it. BW

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
