Every time I see an elevated and sloped conveyor belt, I'm reminded of haying, of putting bales of hay into the barn. And I'm reminded of a friend, Dave. A mountain of a man, who was put in a wheelchair by a bale of hay that fell off of a hay bale conveyor. A basic rule of haying season. Always stay away from the conveyor. Always.

And I complain about hay fever

Santa doesn't like complaining.

A couple was Christmas shopping at the mall on Christmas Eve and the mall was packed.

Walking through the mall the surprised wife looked up and noticed her husband was no where around and she was very upset because they had a lot to do. She used her cell phone to call her husband because she was so upset, to ask him where he was.

The husband in a calm voice said, honey remember the jewelry store we went into 5 years ago where you fell in love with that diamond necklace that we could not afford and I told you that I would get it for you one day?

His wife said crying, yes I remember that jewelry store.

He said, well I'm in the bar next to it.

WOW, this joke sums up men better than any joke I've ever heard....

Nice artist your son Ulli. I understand that you are proud and pleased.

I read this quote this morning, supposedly a Chinese adage. I like it. Puts things into perspective that shows why one should expand their perspective on things:

"One fish said to the other:
'Do you believe in this ocean that they talk about?'”

Rocky_Shorz first made me aware of these farms....
From NextWorldTV:

"Architects from around the world
are brainstorming designs for
vertical farms.

See four futuristic food producing
skyscrapers here, with commentary
from the young architects.

The skyscraper farming idea doesn't
require any chemicals, and was specifically
designed to be used in limited space.

Will it work?

And while reflection on Avalon's main page just now
I was comforted by the thought that even though Avalonians are all on the same page here,
I'm sure glad they aren't all under the same roof...

I mean, if believers in the Koran can't get along with believers in the Torah,
what would happen if we Avalonians were all dumped to settle in the Middle East?
Just look at all those memes on this list...just LOOK at them:

Here is the comment that went with this image:
Found this leaf on my porch. Someone stepped on it and the wilting process left a pattern of their vans.

add this to the vertical farming and we feed the world almost without pollution, we build warm houses and reduce the oil consumption, almost no need for free energy when you do things correctly to start with.

Here and now I was inspired by this (sure it has been posted all over avalon by now, I just never seen it):

A mountain of a man, who was put in a wheelchair by a bale of hay that fell off of a hay bale conveyor. A basic rule of haying season. Always stay away from the conveyor. Always.

The way to get a bale of hay off a conveyor, when a bale is stuck, is that you send another up the conveyor, and the two collide, and push each other about. And the situation is resolved that way. Something is going to happen, in that the second will push the stuck one along, or they will both fall off, one will fall off, and so on. But climbing up the conveyor to fix it, is not an option, as it is usually 20 or more feet off the ground, or thereabouts..and only about 2.5 feet wide, at most, with no side rails. It is a high horsepower high torque moving chain (run by the PTO or linkage to the diesel engine of the given tractor, or electrically), with approx 4" hooks. Nasty!

Putting bales in the barn, is part Normandy beach. Keep sending them up the thing -the conveyor... until the job is done, no matter (to a certain extent) the number of dead, or damaged. If one is dead, the next one simply walks over it, or through it. If it is not handled that way, you'll be there for weeks, and you don't have weeks.

More modern conveyors have side rails but they essentially don't do much for the inevitable and near continual aspect of messed up bales getting stuck along the way. Thus, bales of hay, in the 65lb to 90lb range, falling off, breaking apart, and so on, are a continual aspect. Inevitable and understood to be part of the process. Like a war, limit the injured and dead as much as you can, but get the job done.



Good lookin' hay, BTW, in that photo. Looks like lots of timothy and Alfalfa. Horses and cows like that mix. But they don't look like they know how to run the baler properly -which is art and lore, earned and learned. Nor do they know how to put those badly made bales onto a hay trailer. The entire thing begins with how one handles the rake, which is how you get the hay into rows, after cutting. These appear to be hobbyists, in the photo.

I mean, look at those bales of hay. They weigh in at about, oh, 65-70lbs, maybe, on the bigger ones. Look at how badly stacked they are, on that trailer. Now, look at the proximity of those children, to that stacking, which could fall and tumble, I stress.. at any time. We're talking about very high potential for damaged children. Children should not be anywhere near such a situation. It is dangerous enough for adults who are concentrating on the issues at hand. The trailer is on a frikin' slope, as well, with the kids at the dangerous end.. There are so many things wrong with that photo.....

This might be a problem in Australia, we don't make much hay around here in December

[Carmody]

I had completely forgotten that I know how to do all that farming stuff, to near perfection.

I guess I dunned got cityfied.

Donk,

This is the most wonderfull talk I ever listened too.

And you would not imagine how appropriate it is for me at this very present now moment. N'est-ce pas Ulli? Ulli, have you spoken to Donk this morning??? (refers to some pm we exchanged this morning)

[eaglespirit]

Carmody...You would love to meet my friend, Kenny the farmer. Simply a quiet genius in ALL aspects of farming revolutions/evolutions.
Taught a retired teacher to raise cattle by phone long distance...She had no farming experience and all of her friends were literally baffled at how she became an active-living-legend in the area so expediently...
Kenny's phone-coaching : )
I had helped him fill the loft a couple times. His farm is where I took in many a beautiful sunset in meditation.

[donk]

This is the most wonderfull talk I ever listened too.

i personally have felt uplifted all day, thinking about it gives me shivers and tears...it totally effected me in a wonderful way...I can't believe how empowering it was.

Another thing I just remembered: I had been meaning to check out Eckhart Tolle, out of all the books I read, articles I've devoured, documentaries and interviews and speeches and lecutres I've listened to...I never seen him or heard a word he said, though he is mentioned in probably 5% of the threads on this site!

I have raked my share of hay in my days.
Sitting on a tractor with skinny legs barely long enough to reach the pedals.
(No wonder I later became a lover of fast cars)

Anyway, here is my contribution about hay...
especially the green kind that is being loaded in your picture.
It should have had more hours of sunshine.

As it is it will quickly go into fermentation processes,
which means that it could actually ignite
and start a spectacular farm house fire.
