This year saw the first Hay Harvest from this field, after many years of just having sheep running around, our decision earlier in the year to let it grow and give the land a rest has meant that in June our grass was quite long so decided to let Gareth cut it for his silage and a few bales for ourselves. Over the course of a week two tractors came to cut the hay wizzing around the field to produce rows of cut grass as photo above and first two photos below, then a day or so later it was turned and spread before channeling back into rows to make it ready for the baler (3&4), baler in action late one evening (5) resulting in 62 bales by about 10pm (6), then a day or so later wrapping them (7) which was fascinating to watch, see video…
