For storage the bottom tiers of the hay bales are sometimes stacked by a Harrowbed , and the hay bucks brought in to "top off" the stack. The workers generally wear Chaps to protect their legs and use hay hooks, approx. 12 inch long metal hooks with wooden handles, to secure the bales and move them. An apparatus known as an elevator is used to move the bales, conveyor belt style, to levels too high to buck them. Workers are usually paid by the Ton . Because the work is so labor intensive, many farmers have taken to making multiple ton bales that are moved with machines. Hay bucking competitions are sometimes held at Rodeos and country Fairs . |
