"Our land in the Bridesville area is suitable for raising all the grains, hay and vegetables. Hay was stacked in the fields at haying time and any surplus over the farm requirements was baled later in the fall or early winter when there was more time. The baler was powered by a team of horses, who walked around in a circle, and were attached to a pole that was geared to the baler. A good day's output was ten to twelve tons of hay with a crew of seven men."

- from "A Harvest of Memories" by Bill Hatton, 1985
