It was done in the hottest part of summer and you had to wear long sleeves to keep your arms from getting all scratched up.  It was ball busting work and it took a whole crew.

Now one guy with a tractor can bale a field and then take in the huge round rolls without ever even getting out of his seat.

I still do about 2000 square bales a year that way. As you know WV is not flat so there are areas we just cannot round bale. A couple thousand squares isn't much for an entire summer but still alot of work for 2 people. I've been doing it since I was able to pull bales into piles even if I couldnt put them on the wagon and I still have to wear long sleeves because I break out.
