I done, done that! :) We also had it bailed before we flicked them up on wagons which were pulled by Mules or tractors, John Deere/Farmall. Orchard Grass, we shocked and then flicked up. Remember when a Copperhead went slithering across my shoes.
:) & you can tell that this wasn't the first time she had done this. Seems like the top height of bales on our wagons was 7 or 8 and the man on top had to reach down to help pull up the bales at that height.
I like how she coyly flicks her ample mane out of the way at about .35 seconds, and also how she is careful to collect all her dad's hay for the barn, even a stray flake or two. She does it all with good cheer and style. Forget supermodels - this gal is the real deal.
She must have feet like leather to go bare foot on them hay stabs. I spent many a hot summers day in my childhood bucking hay bails and smelling mule farts, takes me back---Ray
The only thing I hated was cutting rows of corn around a field so the machine could do the rest. When we filled silos, nobody wanted to climb the outside ladder to set it up, but it paid $5 and you only got $4/5 or 6 a day, so that was a nobrainer for me.:)
That's a farm girl that you'd be crazy not to marry!! Whoo Ha!!
ReplyDelete:) !
DeleteIt's interesting how many men instinctively have that reaction on seeing this video. My thought was the same - what an awesome wife that gal would be!
