Haying season

Starting about two weeks ago, all the hay was cut down and rolled into giant bales. I did a bit of reasearch on these bales and discovered a few interesting facts: Rolled hay bales are becoming more popular because they are less labor-intensive to make. But they are huge and heavy and don't stack well, so they are usually left out in the field til they're needed, and more hay gets wasted as a result -the outer layers deteriorate or the cows nibble away at them. Also they are dangerous - quite a few farmers have been crushed by falling round hay bales because they are so heavy!
