Product Description
A nostalgic history of the old time hay stacking era, i.e. pre haybaling days, concentrating on the unique home made devices designed to put it up loose.
The book is 8 ½ x 11 format, has 124 pages with over 300 color and black and white photos and comes in a perfect bound cover. A key feature of the book is a survey of the many kinds of derricks devised to stack hay and why the different models were favored in different locales throughout the West. I drove over 20,000 miles through 12 western states collecting data and shooting pictures of what became 17 ways in 4 major categories to stack hay.
