Me too! It's nice to see how the hay is collected into the round bales. We get the usual rectangular ones, although there are some folks here who bale in the round. Thanks for sharing, Kathy. Action: \| Ignore User Member Since: September 27, 2007 Comments: 19616

Thanks, Julia! The big round ones seem to be the most popular around here, even though the farmers need special equipment to move such heavy bales. I would hate to have one roll over on me; could be fatal. Glad you're enjoying this series! I have more pictures... Action: \| Ignore User Member Since: January 16, 2009 Comments: 24321

Thanks, Kristina! I like to photograph farm scenes, and we're lucky enough to live right next door to this hayfield, though it belongs to someone else. Action: \| Ignore User Member Since: January 16, 2009 Comments: 24321

I like farm scenes like this. We see mostly the big round bales here in North Louisiana, too. Action: \| Ignore User Member Since: May 13, 2006 Comments: 184

Thank you! It is fun to see these bales being spit out by the machinery. I have some shots of it doing that. Action: \| Ignore User Member Since: January 16, 2009 Comments: 24321

GREAT shot, Kathy. I always wondered how the bales were done, thanks to you now I know. LOL! Action: \| Ignore User Member Since: July 14, 2005 Comments: 988

Thank you, Ariceli! I never even thought about such things before I moved to the country. Now I know probably more than I need to know about the process, LOL! Action: \| Ignore User Member Since: January 16, 2009 Comments: 24321

Thanks for commenting, Grace! I'm sure any farm equipment dealer, of which there are usually plenty in rural communities, would be glad to show you some models. Action: \| Ignore User Member Since: January 16, 2009 Comments: 24321
