Phil Trundy flips hay Tuesday while using a hay tedder behind his tractor in Hebron. Trundy said the hay will dry faster by doing so. “I used to do this with a pitchfork,” said Trundy, who was raised on the Brighton Hill Farm by his mother, Anna, and father Harlan. Trundy, 78, attended school from kindergarten through the sixth grade in the one-room Brighton Hill School, at right. “I remember the teacher asking me to throw another stick on the fire,” Trundy said about the pot belly stove used to keep the schoolchildren warm during the winter. Trundy said that his 98-year-old mother still lives on the farm. “We have had to sell a little bit of the farm to help care for her,” said Trundy. “But she’s worth it.” Daryn Slover/Sun Journal
