A few alfalfa growers in Kansas claim that it does not pay to buy a stacker to be used only 2 or 3 days at each cutting. The labor cost in this case is. Fig. 10.—The haystacker in operation. The load is almost ready to be clumped on to the stack. No hard labor is required. much higher than that for the average when a stacker is used, and the yield is but 1 ton per acre. If there is other farm work requiring 6 regular men, or if extra labor can be hired just when wanted, then it might be questionable if it would pay to buy a stacker. If help is scarce, however, 3 or 4 men, with 4 to 6 horses and a stacker, will put up as much hay as the 6 men and 4 horses, not using a stacker. (See fig. 10.).
