Rich has been busy moving the last batch of hay into our poleshed today.

We are able to rent our neighbor's tractor with a bale spear on the front and back. It is slow going as he moves them two by two into the shed, or stacks them on a wagon if they are further away.

The ground is still pretty wet at the back of the farm so he moves them to high ground first in preparation for the ride on the wagon.

Although we're new to tractor driving, Rich has gotten pretty good at it.
