Locally, we have some major hay production going on now. Just suing the light green plastic to hold them together of the truck rides. 4 & 5 18 wheeler tuck/trailers picking them up and taking them to places with more cows just as fast as they can be rolled up.
Still looks like to much work to me. I spent too many hours picking up the old square bales and tossing them on trucks to enjoy anything but the smell since I am now old.
We also still have city slickers who don’t know what the white ones are.
I worked on a farm for 10 years some thing I really don’t miss, like making hay.
Moving those giant bales takes a specific method. You spear it from the end. My high school girlfriend lived on a farm and a hired hand lifted one with a set of forks on the tractor like lifting a pallet with a forklift.
At about 1100 pounds it shifted and he rolled the tractor over and Darwined himself by getting paralized from the waist down.
