hay baling

Compressing dried grass

Hay baling is the process of compressing cut and dried grass or legumes into compact bundles for storage and transport.

The bales—rectangular or cylindrical—make handling easier and preserve the hay as livestock feed through winter months.

We spent all weekend hay baling before the rain came.
