I barely remember hay being stacked outside. That ended when grandpa bought the round baler.
Dad's cousin told a story about staying on the farm to help during the summer when he was a teen. Grandpa was working nights in town and told him to put up two wires fence around that hay pile and hook it up to the other fence so the cows don't get into it.
