I found this nest while cutting hay. Any idea what kind of bird makes these nests? It was empty but was like a sling.

Meeting Gade Hay and Straw team members- Matthew Gade and his girlfriend, Larissa Cheevers. Matt can be found working on the pick up crew and delivering hay. It really does take a team to bring in the crop and we are proud of the whole crew because they aren’t just team members, these are our kids. And this is what makes a family farm.

Let's meet the team members who help make Gade Hay and Straw what it is-
Meet Nick Gade and his son, Treyson. Nick is the oldest of the second generation and Treyson is the start of the third. Like his dad, Trey started in the business at a young age. Both are a valuable asset to the family hay business on the pick up and transportation crew.
