Putting up hay for winter

August 28, 2020

Adolphsen’s Farm had some good hay and straw bales available this summer. Combine that with Jim getting the conveyor belt working in the barn, and we were able to put away an ample supply for winter — a chore that required plenty of teamwork.

Dan hoists the bales up to the conveyor belt from the pickup truck
Once the bales shoot off the conveyor onto the second floor, Jake drags them over to the stack
Karen maneuvers them up to Jim who heaves them into position on the hay stack
