    No one chops hay here, it all gets baled. The move has been to large round bales or huge rectangle bales the past couple years instead of the small rectangles that were traditional. It's getting tougher to find the small square bales that can be handled by hand for my landscape business. Most of the field corn gets chopped around here, although some gets picked.
