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.
Grandpa got home to two hot wires around the hay pile, but was convinced Bud didn't do it right, walked down and grabbed the wire with his pliers to cut it and being a few yards from the fencer, got hit hard.
He headed toward the house in a rage, Bud was headed for the front door, when grandma, all of 5 feet tall and maybe 100 pounds fully clothed and soaking wet, told him to stay there and finish his breakfast. Grandpa was 6 foot, not long out of the navy.

Bud told that story at grandma's funeral. Said grandpa looked kinda dumb for a minute and headed for the barn.
