chickens around here [Music] guys this looks so pretty I'm so disappointed I can't throw the drone up and get a view of this from the air gonna have to wait till spring but so pretty all right we've got the whole field rake check it out I'll show you big beautiful wind rose the Sun is starting to set here on the beautiful mountains of North Carolina and now we're gonna start bailing so I've already made one round to make sure everything works good before I take you along with me I want to show you how the baler works okay basically the baler has a spinning part to the bottom with little grabbers and those grabbers grab all the hay that's laying on the ground off the ground they rake it up and they put it through a belt system and then the belt system rolls it tight tight tight tight and then there's a string a thing that holds string and it goes all across the belt and comes all the way back and then it cuts it so your bail comes out tight right wrapped in string and ready to go and you can load it on the truck or the trailer or take it to your cows or whatever you want to do the way this guy works these huge belts roll in here and if you've never seen a hay baler you don't know how this works it's kind of cool it's very neat to see how things work I'm curious and thought you might be curious so I'm gonna show you
