A hay elevator!
Boy, will that make it easier getting 600 bales in the hayloft. For those of you who may not know what a hay elevator is, it’s a conveyor that moves square bales (effortlessly!) up to a hayloft. This hay elevator was actually originally a conveyor in a warehouse, but the farmer I got it from was using it as a hay elevator and so will I. My cousin went in on it with me for us to share because he’s got some things he wants to move around on his farm.
It has an electric engine, so it’s really simple. Move the elevator (with the tractor) up to the loft window and push the button!
I love farm equipment!

Recently, the good people at My Pet Chicken sent me a sampler pack of their Chunky Chicken Caviar. This is a chicken treat that’s good for the chickens. As opposed to Doritos. My chickens love stale Doritos. (Just sayin’.) However, Doritos have zippo nutritional value. Chunky Chicken Caviar includes beneficial ingredients like corn, wheat, alfalfa, flax, kelp and spirulina. Yum. (If you’re a chicken!)
My goose took to the Chunky Chicken Caviar right away.
I had to round up the chickens and sprinkle some cracked corn on top first to get them to try it. Chickens, they don’t like change.
Then I held a little competition with some cracked corn, some stale Doritos, and some Chunky Chicken Caviar.
Like a blind taste test, minus the hen-size blindfolds.
They liked it all, to be honest, but they were definitely scarfing down the Chunky Chicken Caviar after they figured out that I wasn’t trying to poison them–and I felt good about giving it to them with the kelp and spirulina and everything. (What is that? Wikipedia: spirulina.)
The dogs and cats loved it, too, and even got into it before the chickens, so remember to keep it put up!
Everybody loves it. (Well, I didn’t try it personally. But you can. Let me know!)
