Very well executed Steve... interesting to note that they are still not using even small square bales. However, that would take away from the effect of the photo. #3851350Hurk (Steve) Hurkett January 22, 2007
This farm is a recreation of an 1800's farm and everything they do there, they do exactly like they would have done back in the 1800's ... also see the photo of them bringing hey in with an oxen drawn cart ..I remember living on my grandfather's farm .. and we used to bring in the hay exatly like that (exc we used horses to pul the hay wagon) in fact, when I was 10 .. I drove the team while the adults loaded the hay ...
