Although we don't have cattle or horses any longer,
nor do we have sheep or goats (yet!)
we still grow our small crop of grass hay
and have a relative cut and harvest it.
This keeps the fields producing well,
makes it easier to cut in the future,
and benefits the farmer harvesting the hay,
and makes our property look nicer.

"But when the crop permits, he immediately puts in the sickle,because the harvest has come."
Mark 4:29
Cut, thethered, and baled just in time ~ rain the following day!120 + bales from our two little pastures.
I did keep a couple of bales for
sweet nesting material
in the winter for the hens.
The remainder will go to feeding
a cousin's beef cattle this winter.

Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes, and look on the fields,
that they are white for harvest."

Those pictures are incredible! What incredible land! :)
Love those pix! I forwarded them on to my bff who is a farmers wifey!! We don't farm, but we have the guy who farms the field next to us farm part of ours that is probably an acre so he has an easy access to get into his field and we make a little moolah too. :)
Hugs~

Cute post. It's amazing how creative some folks are:)
Dear Lady Farmer,
Oooh, we love the smell of new-mown hay! We are missing having a hay field right next to our house this year; it was such good entertainment, staring at the farmer while he was cutting, fluffing, and baling! :)
I love the entertaining and creative hay sculptures, too; who says hay seeds aren't artistic? :)
Love,
Marqueta
