Interesting hay production videos ranging from old school 1950's in the USA
to state of the art "down under".

Yeah that's what I do in the one field I can. When I said the fields
were small, well lets put it this way, a couple of them are only about 4
rake widths wide in places. I've got one patch that is about an acre, it
cuts into in about 4 places--made 80 bales off of it last week (second
cutting).

No bale throwers here. Did get to watch one run a couple years ago up
around Natural Bridge Va. Guy was strip farming some LONG fields across
the road from the restaurant we were eating at. Very Cool to watch!
