    A few years ago I visited my favorite uncle in a rest home who ran our family farm/ranch in Utah. He was in his late 80’s and his health and mind was going. After visiting a while I departed to head home on my way I drove by a hay field that was freshly cut. I pulled over and rummaged around in my car and found a Gatorade bottle. I dipped it in a ditch to get some water and picked some fresh cut hay to put in the bottle. I then Went back to see my uncle, as I walked in his eyes lit up and he smiled as I said, “ here I thought you might like this better than some flowers.” He took the hay and put it up to his nose and breathed in deep. His eyes teared up and with love in his eyes he said,” I never thought I would ever smell this again, thank you”. I set it on the stand next to him told him I loved him and headed on out. He passed a few days later with fresh cut hay next to his bed. Like you said if you have never smelled it, it is the most beautiful smell.

      If there is a heaven it should smell like new-mown hay. We make round bales of haylage which are wrapped. On a sunny day that smell escapes through the plastic so we get the aroma then as well. Uncle was lucky as loss of smell is one of the symptoms of dementia.

    I spent about 40 years of my life driving from Minneapolis to Omaha selling industrial plastics. I would stop on the way and watch you, farmers, plant, and harvest.. If I hadn't been married with a kid I would have taken Votec and learned mechanics, welding and taken a job for minimum wage on a farm.

    Thank you Cole. Great video. I think I was looking forward to haying this year as much as you were. I worked for two dairy farmers during the summers back in my teenage years. We did about 15,000 squares each year. I remember all too well the smell of fresh cut hay and even during baling a few days later. You are right, city folks have no idea what they are missing. Tonight I am going to dream about those good ole days and smell the hay. Thank you for igniting the memories. Great drone footage as well. Looking forward to more videos!

    If I can't start a pull motor after a couple of pulls; I pull the spark plug and dry it out, prime the cylinder, replace the spark plug. It generally starts on the first pull, I absolutely refuse to crank on a flooded engine.

    Hay is big work even with all those machines. When I was a little kid my Grandpa mowed with a 1948 Farmall Cub and a sickle bar mower. Then we had an antique horse drawn rake manually operated. My Grandpa pulled it back and forth across the hay fields while I pulled the rake up to drop the hay in windrows. When it was good and dry we went out with our pitchforks and piled it up in big piles so he could drive the ancient pickup truck with the homemade hay bed on it from pile to pile where one threw the hay up, and the other ran around in a circle to lock the hay together so it wouldn't fall off before we got to the barn. One threw it in while the other moved it back in the loft and piled it to the roof. When he was older, we cut it and raked it and paid fifty cents a bale to have square bales. Much faster and easier.

    Didn't notice the new jeans until you showed us; but did wonder immediately why you had a BackPack on.; but the mystery remains. How does a crushed beer can get into the alpha field in the middle of nowhere, not a road to be seen. Better yet, how did you even see it from the tractor with somewhat dirty windows? I am only half way through the "binge watching" of 2 years vlogs (which have been enjoyable, interesting, humorous) and have heard & seen Jeff. Is Jeff c Co-Owner with Dad or what.? Even though I have been a "City Dweller" for 78 years, I have smelled the sweet, refreshing aroma of newly cut alpha in my travels. 🚜 🚜 🚜🐄🐄🐄🐄 🚜 🚜 🚜
