I've done farm work a few times in my life. By haying I was talking about picking up the hay bales from the field and tossing them up on a truck, then unloading them into the barn...tossing them off the truck up to the hayloft. It's pretty brutal work on the hands due to the weight of the bales and the strings/twine that beat the snots out of your palms. Even with heavy gloves to prevent burns and cuts my palms would swell.
