Follow Me
August 19th, 2011
Earlier in August, I spent a week up at our property on the Gatineau River in Quebec. We’re building a small cabin there, but for now, we stay in our RV in a neighbouring farm field that belongs to my brother-in-law. Another neighbour, who farms there full-time, does the haying. I was there while they were baling, which gave me a chance to see how the round bales are made. Our neighbour’s young son explained the process to me while I took lots of pictures and a few movies. You can see the process in the movie below (please ignore any safety issues in the making of this movie!)
