Thanks for the confirmation on the photo rock, Dwight.

I always wonder how far it is from the rock to the tree line in the background; whenever I see some relatively flat, clear ground I start to wonder if a ball diamond would fit there.
1000 bales in an afternoon is impressive, especially on a regular basis. One of my younger brothers would drive the tractor pulling the baler and a flat wagon (with a rack at the back); my dad would be on the wagon stacking bales as they came out of the baler. Another younger brother and I would hitch up a full wagon in the field, bring it to the barn, unload it, and return the empty to the field; I was usually on the wagon putting bales on the conveyor going up to my brother stacking them in the haymow. 1000-bale days were very rare for us, but we had to start milking cows around 5pm, so our baling hours were restricted to about 4 hours per day (unless we did some unloading of full wagons after milking). We also had bales that were usually about half the weight of yours! This knife cut an awful lot of baler twine as we used the hay bales throughout the year!
