That would be me on the truck. Putting hay in those old barns was terrible. When we backed the truck up to the barn, I had to lift the top bales up four or five feet. Now you can see what happened when you got down to the floor. We stacked the hay usually five layers high on the truck. The temperature inside those old barns would be over 110 degrees, and one could only stay inside for ten minutes or so. Outside it was cool, about 98 degrees. My dad and I picked up the bales from the meadow one at a time. We would consume five gallons of water in a day. We have hauled and stored 800 bales in one day. This was in the hot humid climate in north east Texas. We found that we could haul more hay per day if we kept the load to about 90 bales. This way, we could load the truck without having to stop to cool off, and cool down during the 3 or 4 mile drive. To unload, we would have to switch places every few minutes to avoid overheating. This was in 1954 and '55.
