A young Ethan Lail drives his toy tractor pulling a trailer with a hay bale as he watches his dad and “Pops” stack hay.

By Ethan Thomas Lail, with help from mother Allison Lail What do you know about hay? My name is ethan thomas lail and i am nine years old. let me tell you what i know about baling hay. My mom and dad moved onto my dad’s grandparents’ farm in Maryville, tennessee and started hay farming after they got married. My dad’s grandfather, and then his uncle and my dad’s father “Pops” used to raise cattle on the farm; but that was way before my time. after my dad’s uncle passed away, the cattle were sold, dad graduated from college, and moved into grandma’s house. But he wanted to keep the farm going by turning it into hay farm. the only farm equipment they had to start with was Pops’ tractor and a sickle bar mower. the rest was all started on faith. Why do some farm animals eat hay? Because they are hungry, says my little brother Calvin. it’s their food for the winter when there is not much grass in the pasture. Where does hay come from? Grass! Can you get it from mowing your yard? no. Because mowers and bush hogs chop up the grass in small pieces, so it clumps and does not make hay flakes. Hay is forage, which is plant material such as grass, plant leaves and stems. When do we harvest hay? From May to September. if there are four days of clear weather forecast, then you can get started. let’s cut hay! First use tractor and cutter, which cuts the grass clean next to ground and lays the grass out flat. then we ted the same day or the day after, which flips the hay and spreads it out. then, we wait for the grass to become golden brown by sitting in sun to dry.

How does the square baler work? the pick-up in front of the ma - chine picks up the hay from windrows and gathers it into the baler, just like it’s eating. the John deere baler has an auger that rolls hay into the next compartment. the auger constantly rolls to push hay into the chamber. the new Holland and Massey balers have forks that shift the hay to the next compartment. a sliding door allows enough hay to be pushed in to make one flake, as the door opens and closes. the tim - ing is all continuous motion. the hay has now entered the bale chamber. a small lever in the back of the baler next to the knotters moves up a notch each time the baler up behind the baler, where one or two persons stack this is how our family and family friends work makes a flake.
