| Now you may be
asking, how does the farmer get the straw, grass or legume
hay into bales or rolls? Hay bales and rolls are made through
a process called hay baling. The
first step to hay baling is
waiting for the hay to become mature. Mature means the hay
is ready to produce seed and has become the most nutritious.
Mature is also the point where the hay is the correct height
to bale. |

The next step is cutting
the hay with a sickle or disc mower. These are machines
that cut the hay off next to ground so that it can be
raked.
Watch someone cut
hay!
