My youngest daughter is helping me post these pictures (I hope) of our straw baling of last Thursday (6/22/17). Nice (not hot), breezy, partly cloudy weather.
We used a combination of tractor, horse, and man power.
A Deere 4430 tractor with 328 baler, a Deere 4240 tractor with another 328 baler(borrowed), a team of Belgians or my 1986 GMC pick-up to pull wagons to barn & back, and many Amish friends. I'm the pleasantly plump (fat) "english" guy in the white T-shirt (prednisone does give you an appetite).
Don't think we got a picture of the bales going up the (electric) elavator to the mow.
We baled a total of 2,300 bales. Filled up my hay mow, and all the Amish help got their barns filled too.
Money raised from sale of straw bales goes to help fund the Amish School teachers' pay.
Anyone near south-central Ohio need straw?
Feel free to ask questions.
Last picture is middle daughter and 3 of my grand kids.
Larry: Get well soon, and you can come help next year. I'm pulling (and praying) for you.
