Make Hay While the Sun Shines!

Finally, some hay-making weather has arrived in Vermont! We are one of the last farmers in the area that still make small square hay bales - and we know why! It's a pain in the patoot, that's why! You need at least 3 days of hot, dry weather, at least two tractors, and lots of brute strength! Luckily, this week has turned out to be perfect hay-making weather - and it's due to last throughout the weekend. Here's Todd mowing.

Look how lush this grass is! It's going to make some beautiful hay for the sheep this winter!
