Small Farm Harvest Labor Reduction Project
Summary
To reduce the time and effort spent harvesting hay on small, remote island farms, this project hopes to make inexpensive modifications to existing equipment and to harvesting schedules. Remoteness and high cost preclude hiring custom haying contractors, so this group proposes to build hay wagons from salvaged lumber and auto parts to fabricate a hay baler extension.
