I can remeber a few barn fires, but I remember one farm in Ward Hill, Mass. that started loading in Green hay with huge blowers, keeping the air circulateing. Apparently it worked. I don't remember the barn burning. I guessd it saved labor by not having to do the tedding operation. I remember driving the horse with a rake like the one in Pineneedles picture. I also remember using a loafer rake.
