End of an era as Buckles hay camp runs on horses
A Nebraska haying camp operates with a 10 man crew feeding on a horse powered system. Buckles uses 40 head with three 14 foot sweeps and four horse teams to power the stacker and rake. Young Jerr y Buckles helps run a sweep while Orlen Vitousek and others drive the teams. The article notes dangers of sinkholes in the sand hills and recalls how horses evoke nostalgia as modern tractors dominate.
