Stacking hay on the Chester Mayer Ranch (Eagle, Colorado), not the Eagle Ranch subdivision on Brush Creek. The hay was lifted to the top of the stack by a "Mormon Derrick," a weight and pulley arrangement using a crane. The derrick is in the center of the photo with horse teams and rakes "pushing" hay to the loading area.
