Make hay while the sun shines .... indeed a few days before it was raining, maybe more to come ?
A man takes the bunch of hay to bring it to the stack, women do also carry this load, no problem.

Most of the workers here get paid by the day and one man is appointed as supervisor or the farmer himself will supervise a smooth organisation. No, they were not allowed to chat with me for a moment, work had to go on swift in a syncronised chain rythm under a blistering sun at noon, just after their luch break.
