An 'overshot' stacker, teams of horses pushing 'horse-sweeps' and another horse raising the load of alfalfa. Sometimes it was 'exciting' when a rattlesnake accompanied the load. If the stack was low enough, the men were known to jump. When I was about 5, I was with my grandfather, Frank Berryman, on a cart pulled by a team when they 'ran-away' upsetting the stacker and breaking the cable. Photo from an old textbook on farming.

a little before my time ... I've never seen hay stacked like this or out in the open ... we were uptown I reckon' // as I was 8 years old, I drove the tractor pulling a wooden sled while they picked up square bales and loaded her up ... we even had an old rusty conveyor belt thingie that took them to the hayloft .. don't ask me how they got the bales square ... I don't remember that part of baling ... but back then they were two wires and around 80 lbs ... dang bales now are anywhere from 125-140 ... and I don't even weigh that!
