The barn and the hay hook are from the days before baled hay. The farm family loaded the loose hay from the field onto a flat wagon.The wagon was parked under the hay hook. The hook was used like a clam bucket or grapple to grab a large amount of hay. (think of the amusement game where you try to get the stuffed animal out of the glass box using a grappling hook from above) It then was hoisted up and could travel the length of the barn on a track under the ridge and be placed into the mow. All manual labor using ropes and pullys. Jim
