Making hay when the sun shines - part 7 - putting round bales into the barn

Mowing 4 fields on Wednesday, tedding on Thursday, raking and baling alfalfa and half the orchard grass into rectangular bales on Friday, baling the remaining of the orchard grass into rectangular bales and both fields of the pasture grass into round bales on Saturday.... only step left was to make sure everything was under shelter before predicted rain on Sunday!

Nephew Ricky had been busy all day with spraying fields for the farm he works for, but he came home in the evening, loaded up and brought the round bales to the barn.

Ricky coming up the driveway with the last of the round bales - he carries the last bale on the front fork of the tractor so he can put it directly into the barn once he unhooks from the trailer.
