Haying was hot, dirty work. Horse hay we grew wasn’t so bad, it was mostly timothy or broam grass. Alfalfa hay has leaves that come off or crumble into dust and get all over you, stick to your sweat, and itch. The hay mow would get up to over 100 degrees.
That’s where I learned the value of an education. The town boys we hired were working their asses off pitching bales in the heat.
But I knew how to drive a tractor.
