With all the new types of machinery farm work has gotten easier but it is still some of the hardest work on the planet. It takes a very strong dedicated person to operate a farm. These are truly "unsung heroes".
I will be darn Mike you came over and it's not easy work all my uncles and now there sons do it but there is something to be said of the harvest. Farmers a tending to sell out allow corporations to take it all on but to those that keep it.........there is something to be said for that.
I love living where farms are still active. There are many fields like this on our way to town. Corn will be harvested next. You've got nice photos here!
No he has always kept his roots as country first....I would think he is within that era where at a certain point you really can't place a finger on it. For example, Paul McCartney would he be rock? I would tend to think he is within his own as the likes of many Tee.
Yes Mike...you do need strong dedication for farm life...I did it for 30 yrs and I am glad I dont have to get out there and sling those bales of hay any more...dont think I could do it now. But in the day, I did my fair share of moving bales of hay from the field into truck into barn to be stacked...we didnt have these round bales...but the square ones are pretty heavy to throw. Glad that life is behind me but never forgotten.
Jack. we usually do our haying out here in early summer, right past memorial weekend if the weather co-operates. As soon as we see the stalks of grass turn a light purple, its time to cut....love your pics.
Thanks Marty as for a week I wished to get a few pictures and belive it or not I took my SUV and went right into two acerages and literally with some stood on top of the van. Here there is one harvest where within different areas they have two. Here Marty this province especically was agriculture based. Althought things are much different now we still hold onto the values of harvest. Rather neat if you ask me when there is so much going on.
It's wholesome < that is the best word I can describe of it.
Picture taken today and I thought I would place this writing on one and then bring in the others as well I am starting to watermark my pictures as two newspapers have taken my pictures.
Yet the hails of bailes are that of what many of us all see. I was more than pleased to be able to get them in before they were gone.
busy time for farmers..!

ReplyDeleteThis is one country artist which I loved and he is still around now.
Great pictures, I love Steve Earl's guitar town but isn't he rock ?
ReplyDeleteI remember that song, thanks for sharing.

Your most welcome Faye.
ReplyDeleteCool. Our family has two hay farms in Alberta. I can't help think how happy my sister's rabbit and guinea pig would be knowing that.
ReplyDelete:)
Since you said from one side of my family we own half of the west. Thanks for the share Erika.
ReplyDeleteHay is great.
Can you say "Hay"....?

I had to go clean my lens as there was a black mark but I was not about to stop
ReplyDeleteas tomorrow they could all be gone.
