(Archive) - Beginnings! Haying Seasons 2012 - 2015

Here's the last bit of archival hay season footage, as I work to get all that I have up on youtube (primarily for my own benefit as place to hold it all, but I recognize some of you may want to see it too!) The footage is definitely hit/miss (with 2012 phone quality to start). And it's amazing how much I didn't film back in the early days! I started my farm in 2012, with just the humble Massey Ferguson 135 tractor, a (then) brand new New Holland HM234 disc mower, a grimm two-head tedder, a MF 20 3-point rollerbar hay rake, and (at first) borrowing the MF 124 baler that I then bought and have had ever since. The first year was nine acres, and a lot of trial/error. I grew up as a hay nut and worked for another hay farming friend/mentor for nearly a decade, but doing it for yourself is a whole new learning curve :) The first four years in business saw a steady (but modest) increase in acreage and confidence - culminating in the purchase of our MF165 late in 2015, and spring-boarding us into the diesel age. ~~~ (We are a 53-acre haying operation in Conway, MA - making all small square bales for the local food, fiber, and livestock community.
