Default Modern times.

Stop by the Ramblin' Vewe Farm on Morrill St in Gilford and you can see how hay is collected today. We don't have blowers to dry the hay, we wait until just the right time to harvest. At the time we store the hay, the hay is saturated with a natural flame retardent and fungicide. The flame retardent doesn't prevent burning but slows down the process.
