BAILING--the--MINNESOTA---HAY
Was ---one ---of ---the ---HARDEST, ---things, ---that ---i ---ever, ---ever---had ---to ---DO---and---ENDURE--- in ----any----A---WAY

Especially, --when --the ---HAY--FIELDS---, were --WET--with --the ---SUMMER---RAINS
Then ,-the, ---HAY-BAILS--- became, -twice -as -heavy-, and -picking -them -up, -and --STACKING-them -on -the --Flat-bed-trailer-- was -a --PHYSICAL--with---PAIN

BAILING--- the ---MINNESOTA----HAY
Was ---unforgettable---and--so---EXHAUSTING--, on --a --HOT, -HOT,- HOT--, SUMMER----HUMID----HOT--HOT--HOT---DAY

OUR---neighbors--by--my-----Grand-parents----HOME--, in--WISCONSIN--we--HELPED--them--in--the--FIELDS---BAILING---HAY
It -really- was -the --HARDEST--,WORK--as --a --kid,-- that --i --ever --DID--in ---a----DAY

It -was -much -easier,- when -we -took -the -tractor,- and --CHOPPED-- the ---ALFALFA,, --and ,- it -was -like --MOWING-- a --big,--HUGE--LAWN--for--FOOD--for--the--CATTLE----to----EAT
But -we -had -lots -of -fun,- helping- and -working -on that--farm, -and -it -was --PRETTY--NEAT

BAILING --the --MINNESOTA--HAY
I --will--always--REMEMBER--HOW--HARD--it--was--most--especially--on--a--rain--soaked--MINNESOTA--DAY
