Makin’ Hay
Early farmers would invite their neighbours and make “haying” a party day. They would start mowing at day light, work hard for several hours and then rest around noon for a very long lunch. They would work again until sundown.
Haymaking has come a long way since the time when each village raised and cut its own supply by hand. No matter how advanced the science of growing, cutting and harvesting hay becomes, a good crop still comes down to the right balance of rain and sunshine
