We don’t leave hay sitting on the field for long. We want to move it to higher ground. We also want to avoid allowing the grass to grow around it; if it did we would crush it with the heavy tractors as we move the hay. Flattened hay is hard to cut!
The team keeps all of our good old cotton trailers staged next to the field. As the hay is baled they hook them to trucks and tractors. They use the JCB telehandler to load the trailers down with round bales. After that, they take the trailers and drop them off at the highest point on the field where the hay will be unloaded and stacked.
