Four Distinct Methods of Making Hay Explained
The United States Department of Agriculture explains four hay making systems. Hand loading remains common in old hay regions due to low equipment needs, but labor costs rise. Hay loaders increase capacity about 30 percent, though on uneven ground and with hard wagon work their use is limited. Push rakes and stackers suit large western acreages with less hand labor. Field baling from the windrow speeds work but risks spoilage if dew or rain hits and storage is poor.
