much of my life has revolved around hay bales. by the time that above photo was taken, i had at least 10 years experience in stacking flatbeds on rough cow pastures. That truck is just going close by because it is only 3 high and center tie layer above that. Headboard has metal shackle with hemp rope tied on. as the stacker works along, you keep bringing the rope with you along the top of the stack. Get to the back of the load and hope off while using your weight to pull rope tight. Back of truck was another shackle under the bed for the rope to go thru, then back up to the loop half way up the back, pull rope a couple times then secure with 2 half hitches and load is tied before the driver can get out of the cab. Drive back to barns and either unload onto the elevator into the second story of barn. or if going onto the lower floor of barns, a steel sheet is used as a ramp so the hand trucks can be wheeled right onto the truck bed so there is no restacking required. Long distance delivery was 8 layers high and that took much more stacking and a couple of tie layers

Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
