Second cut hay is harvested in August, sometimes early September, you never know when the hay truck is coming, they never call and tell you. Sometimes, the farmers come right from the field to the barn, Nelson brought his son and a helper and it is always an astounding thing to see these men of steel toss hay  bales around. Maria stacked and she nearly collapsed after a half-hour, it was hard for me to have to watch – this is a chore I lvoe, but I dared not play with tossing a hay bale or lifting one. Next year. We got all 157 bales into the big barn, it will be easy for us to reach them.
