We finally got around to the last field of first cutting this year. It is a reclaimed strip mine that we do on shares. this is the steepest slope in the 40 acre field. I took these while raking and square baling the steep parts.

This shows why we keep putting this hay up every year. Has not had any inputs at all and we make over 200 4x5 round bales off this field each year. It's just too bad its so rough and steep.

So far we have made 145 rounds and 515 squares with another 50 rounds to go of what we still need to cut.
