The hay was dried by air forced through the hay dryer ducts with 1 i a 42-inch seven-blade fan pulled by ' an old automobile motor. A seven ! horsepower nrtotor is large enough, | but the Baumbergers had the old ! car motor on hand. ! The brothers estimated that 60 ’ tons of cured hay was obtained' from a mixture of ladino clover, alfalfa and orchard grass cut from approximately 18 acres of grazing land, "nie hay was cut one day and wilted and run through a feed chopper the following day and blown into the barn loft and the fan began blowing air through the hay. It required from five to ten days to cure the hay, depending on fhe dampness. It is estimated that it cost ap proximately $3.00 per ton, fuel and oil, to cure a ton of hay, but the Baumbergers estimate that the val ue of hay quality w’as increased at least $15.00 per ton. ^he dairy cat tle eat 100 per cent of the hay.
