A John Deere 6400 tractor and a John Deere 348 Square Baler complete the mechanized portion of Rolling Oaks's first hay cutting of the year. Marcia Johnson guides the baling parade around the pasture. She also had the task of adjusting the baler after the season's first few bales «exploded» after being kicked.

A big thank you to the folks at Rolling Oaks Farm for the invitation and access to the operation.
