The hay was dried by air forced
through the hay dryer ducts with 1
i a 42-inch seven-blade fan pulled by

! 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

least $15.00 per ton. ^he dairy cat
