Making Hay... a few years ago!
Mowing alfalfa/orchardgrass

To help make a quality hay quickly, we use a mower conditioner to cut the hay.  I am using our Case 500 to pull a 9' New Holland 488 Haybine.  This is the fourth cutting being mowed on Labor Day weekend 2000, but unfortunately it got rained on.  It had not rained for three weeks previous.  Such is farming!!!

You can see we've come a long way in upgrading equipment and techniques!
