Notes

Jesse "Tex" Nichols talks about baling hay. Recorded in a mobile home on the 96 Ranch.
Tex Nichols's story concerns the continuous learning that accompanies every job. In this story, the condition of the hay forced him to drive the baler more slowly than usual, and the baling wire kept breaking. Nichols explains how he deduced what had gone wrong, thereby mastering one more subtlety of the job.
