We would stack the 2nd and 3rd cuttings outside after the in side storage was full but we fed the outside bales out by spring. The first couple tiers were not good quality but by the time those tiers were fed off it was winter and we we did not have to worry about much rain on the rest of the hay. Sometimes in the right fall morning the stack would be steaming if we had a rainy summer. It was fed to fat cattle so dad got away with it. The bred cows got the inside hay. Later dad built a hay roof to stack the outside bales under.
A 1200 bale day of baling was huge for us and that included unloading 4 loads from the previous evening in the morning before the dew dried off. We did not push hard. Our crew included two WW1 vets, one born in 1893 and the other born in 1895. The rest were in their 40 s and 50 s except for me. I was a teenager and most of the crew could out work me. I started out driving the baler and graduated to the rack when I was old enough. Today I am embarrassed to say if I stack one 100 bale load myself I am done for the rest of the day. Those WW1 vets were as old or older than I am now and they could work all day.

He farms around a hundred and fifty acres of arable land, in a village called Southam, located just outside Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
