A Return to Hay Harvest of Yesteryear

My older sister bought this old print at a sale. We have no idea who is in the image or the location. I have a definite interest in observing early American farming history. I had a deceased cousin who could have told me the specific names of all the equipment, but I do not know the details of the machinery. The old photo was taken with my Canon 7D Mark II, 24-105mm ED, mounted on tripod. The photo was in a cardboard frame, and I covered it with non-reflective glass. I have posted the after and before.

When I saw the title, I thought you were talking about square bales! I know a lot about that old time haying operation! But this was REALLY old time! Great job bringing that old photo back to life!
