haying

Visit Grit.com for accounts of old-fashioned haying methods.

Large manufacturers of haying equipment such as mowing machines, hay rakes and hay loaders did not want to spend time, resources or space to make small haying tools.

In keeping with my plan to hold investments to a minimum until I saw how much revenue could be generated, I decided to watch the shoppers' guides and auctions for relatively inexpensive backup haying equipment.

From 35 years of haying experience and conversations with farmers, I've come to find that there are three grades of quality hay: good, questionable and hot.
