Stephi: The baling crew (for small squares) which I have consists of my two sisters (43y and 50y), their DAUGHTERS (12y, 14y and 25y) plus may mother (78y) and the husband (occasionally0 of my younger sister. They (sisters, not the younger nieces) run the baler, run the moco, haul wagons, and buck bales, both behind the baler and then stacking them in thn barn. You just can't HIRE anyone to come out and do this work. 35 years ago, when I was a teenager, baling jobs were my main employment in the summer. I guess guys today, being ever so much more macho than we were, now prefer to flip hamburgers and wash dishes. Oh Well! Bucking bales is dusty work, tending to get you covered from head to foot with hay dust. Bales can weigh 40-70 pounds and you are likely to move hundreds of them, if not thousands. My nieces and sisters do it, because it is the price they pay for having and liking horses. Operating a baler, especially form the airconditioned comfort of a tractor cab (makes me jealous, MY tractors are all open station) is by no means arduous! As for convincing your boyfriend to let you help, you really shouldn't have all that much difficulty in persuading him to teach you how to run the baler. It isn't rocket science!
