Old-fashioned Haymaking, Part 3 (The Process) - The FHC Show, ep 40

In this latest episode #40 of The Farm Hand's Companion Show, Pa Mac describes and demonstrates the general daily process for making hay by hand on the subsistence small farm or homestead. Along with the proper use and honing of the scythe for mowing hay, Pa Mac also shows how to use hay rakes to form windrows and hay piles or "cocks". Keep in mind that the daily steps for haymaking shown in this video represent a general routine for most southern areas in the United States and must be adapted for different weather conditions or the climates of different geographical regions.

Be sure and subscribe to the Farm Hand's Companion channel to keep up with the progress as Pa Mac takes an undeveloped piece of property and turns it into a small subsistence farm. Watch for new episodes as often as Pa Mac can crank 'em out and still run a small farm. (As long as he's alive and kicking, he's most assuredly farming and filming!)
