Haying Part 1, Using the Sickle Bar

I know it's not haying season, but I was deleting videos off of our movie camera to make room for the footage of the baby goats (if they ever come) and I came across some footage of us haying this past summer.

This is the first step in the haying process. We're using a sickle bar mower to cut our field. After the field is cut we let the hay dry in the sun. Then flip it into furrows with the hay rake and let it dry again. This was one of the hottest weeks of our Michigan summer 104 degrees and a country wide drought. We only got in one cutting but the hay we got from our field fed our 10 goats almost through the whole winter.

    Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like
    you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can
    do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit,
    but other than that, this is fantastic blog.
    A fantastic read. I'll definitely be back.

    With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any
    issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My website has a lot
    of completely unique content I've either created myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you know any ways to help prevent content from being ripped off? I'd definitely appreciate
    it.
