We used to do 5000-6000 for ourselves, and a couple of large fields for others, I can remember all too well what it's like at the other end of the elevator every summer, hot, dusty, scratched up etc. I can remember close calls with the weather, baler problems and all the rest. One of our fields was behind the ford dealership we had, about 11 acres of some really nice timothy and orchard, this was in a huge flat area, that is an aquifier, put a well point in 5 feet and you have unlimited water, was always thick heavy growth and hardly any weeds, this field produced year after year.
We had 2 large barns, + the old garage building at the dealership, enough to store more than we could bale, but my neighbor used to do upwards of 25,000 and used to fill the lower barn,and his place he still to this day marvels at how big the mow was in that one, it was pretty big. A lot of barns not owned by the farmer were put to good use storing hay, as I recall, not too many left today. I've got some old photos to scan of both places, some are in the town history book, near the old tractor place, you can see how big the flat area was before anything was built. In the 40's there was big auction at our place, and it's the only photo I have of both of our barns, I'll have to scan and post them at some point in the future.
