Today we finished getting the hay from the orchard into the barn. It took us about 4 hours – 2 hours today and 2 hours yesterday.
Hay after mowing, drying and raking into piles.
The piles are transferred to a large tarpaulin
which is then dragged over to the barn.
The tarpaulin is attached to a pulley system and hauled up to the upper door.
I go upstairs and drag the tarpaulin into the hayloft
and make large piles of hay all ready for feeding to the horses.
