Bear is so good with her.<BR/><BR/>Hi Stasia,<BR/>So glad you came out of lurkdom! : )<BR/><BR/>Hmmmm. I can't think of a book on haying offhand, but let me ask Joe.<BR/><BR/>Depending on where you live, hay harvesting practices can vary. Just today we were out driving around and realized that we did not see a single field that had been put up in square bales (like we put up and used to be the norm in this area). Everyone has switched to the huge round bales (usually about 5 or 6 feet tall and hundreds of pounds) that must be moved with a tractor. In other states some hay comes in giant square bales that again must be moved with a tractor.<BR/><BR/>I would think there would be some haying info somewhere on the internet, maybe on a farming or agriculture site? You might try using google.com and putting in words like "hay" "putting up" "equipment" "how," etc. <BR/><BR/>I bet that would get you some useful hits. I'll still see about a book. Joe might even have one that I don't know about.Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1150172414746049502006-06-12T23:20:00.000-05:002006-06-12T23:20:00.000-05:00Love the pics - have been lurking for a while.

Thanks for posting them all.<BR/><BR/>Can you recommend a book or other info on hay (growing, cutting, tools for, etc.) for someone new to farming? We just purchased a 20 acre farm, and I'd like to get some sheep (I'm a fiber artist and animal lover). I have lots and lots of books on sheep and chickens and pasture rotation... but I know *nothing* about hay, or how to harvest it!<BR/><BR/>Any tips or pointers would be greatly appreciated! Have a wonderful week.Stasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16990354330607990999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1150155670003486782006-06-12T18:41:00.000-05:002006-06-12T18:41:00.000-05:00I love the cute round tummy on Cary.I love the cute round tummy on Cary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1150138559238604522006-06-12T13:55:00.000-05:002006-06-12T13:55:00.000-05:00life on sea can be hard you cant have dogdarn i mi...life on sea can be hard you cant have dog<BR/><BR/>darn i miss the farm and those furry ones<BR/><BR/>farm girl....
