    Oh, Marie-Anne! This was a delight to watch. I grew up in the middle of the US and even though we lived in town, we had a huge alfalfa field across the road from our house. When the farmer was out bailing, I sat on our porch and watched for hours. Ahhhhhh, the smell.

  • @ffcwatercolors5552
    @ffcwatercolors5552 2 роки тому +1

    Love your home and farm! I grew up with horses, so I helped my father. He mowed with the tractor, and I then used the tractor with the rake, going down each row so that it was properly stacked to dry until a neighbor farmer came and bailed it for us.

    I loved seeing you walking in the fields, and I agree with you about the wonderful smell of freshly cut hay. We were with friends when they cut their hay earlier this summer and enjoyed it so much. The twin oaks frame your home beautifully, and perhaps they are a gateway to a magical land! Thank you for sharing this bit of your life with us.

    Love new mown grass smell! Look at your lovely house! What a great spot! A good deal with your hay. Wet hay can catch fire. True! Lots to learn! My precious princess and I are having a little lie in. Auntie Jan brought Sybbie a heated cat Warmie pad for under her cat bed! Someone is very happy. It is a cool foggy damp morning. Only a few errands today! Drinking my tea and watching a few videos after the news. Your fall season looks lovely. I am sure you are enjoying the countryside!

    I love that you had your own hay harvested! Modern farming equipment is amazing. I sometimes seeing haying along the salt marshes of San Francisco Bay, where I live. Curiously, our bales are much smaller, rectangular “cubes”, maybe so that they can be lifted by one man. We used to have 24 acres of mixed forest and meadow a few hours to the north and the property was being invaded by the most noxious weed, star thistle. Neither wildlife nor domestic animals can eat it and it’s miserable to try to walk through. I hope it doesn’t ruin all our pasture land, which is critical for our excellent local dairy industry.

    • @frenchfoodfrenchhome4219

    @genevabrantner365 2 роки тому +1

    We always cut 'on the half' with a neighbor. Green hay will combust fast if it's not dried before it's put in the barn, especially with our heat. We have many fields catch fire every summer just from the heat of the bailing equipment.

  • @jillkerly1228

    We live in rural County Cork, Ireland, and when we first came here, 25 years ago, we were fascinated by the cutting and baling of the grass. Now, we are so used to it, we don't even notice it. Living in the countryside is just the best!

    Great arrangement with the farmer baling your hay! I don't live on a farm but my Border Collies herd sheep & we help feed the sheep & I've helped with haying--farmers here who have the heavy equipment help those who don't in exchange for half of the hay like you showed :-)

  • @jayner3450
    @jayner3450 2 роки тому +1

    I have a similar arrangement with a local farmer who cuts my fields. Did you know the spreading out of the hay and twirling it with the circular rake attachment is called Tedding - I only found that out this year after the farmer laughed when I said he twirled the grass 🙄 I appreciate it may be a different name in France though. So love your farm stories do carry on xx

    I cannot believe how much the area you live looks like rural Iowa (we are in the Midwest US, on the west side of the Mississippi River). I grew up about 30 miles from one of the largest John Deere tractor factories. Your neighbors tractor may very well have come from Iowa. Thanks for the thistle tip. Thistles are one of my headaches. I usually pull them up, but they just keep coming back. I will have to try salting them in places where I do not need to grow anything else.

    Even with being a farmers daughter, I never knew about leaving the bales to dry in the field. I always thought you had to bale and get them into the barn so they wouldn’t get wet if it rained.

      I used to live on a farm years ago Cheryl so this is a welcome return to the land. We do have chickens and one of them is a repeat double yolker 😃

      @@frenchfoodfrenchhome4219 Wonderful! I was raised on a farm in Florida then moved to Houston Texas, quite a culture shock. Took me 30 years but I did get back to a farm, 30 acres in Washington state, then another in Tennessee. Now our little 5 in "the middle of nowhere" Texas. It's enough now. Chickens are so funny to watch. I enjoy seeing your property, it's quite lovely and looks like you have really good dirt. I like to farm, so I look at peoples' dirt! LOL
