Hmong MO Lor Family - Moving Hay

A lot of family members out of state are curious about what we do here in MO.
This year i plan to document some of the things we do, if not all.
Here is a video of us moving the hay after it is cut.
The process of it is very long and this took a whole days work.

In the video is:
-Tommy Lor (Me)
-Timmy Lor
-Uncle Txoov Moua Lor
-Lue Lor (my dad)
-Uncle Fong Lor
-Uncle Xeng Lor

This was at Uncle Txoov Moua's Farm (120 acres)
A little about our family:
We are located in Mid-MO along with maybe 8-10 other families (i didnt want to count lol). But yes mostly consisting of Lor and a Vang family or two. Very close to each other. The nearest hmong civilization is about 2 hours away in Kansas City, MO. Our family owns 120 acres, 80 acres, 20 acres, and have rented land too. We own chickens, but we dont do the whole chicken barn for companies, too stressful. But we do alot of cattle work each uncle owning over 70 cows or so. It looks easy but its tough out here. First few years was rough and everyday as we continue life we grow knowledge. Im hoping our community will expand some day.

[MissouriLorFamily]

@XhmOngSouLjax I don't, but I am sure my parents know them, come to think of it the name sounds familiar. We are about 3 or 4 hours from springfield.

[XhmOngSouLjax]

@MissouriLorFamily Yeah, he's from Colorado but living in Springfield, MO now and raising chickens with his family. Anyways, I hope I can come back to visit again because the last time I came there I had a blast!

[MissouriLorFamily]

@XhmOngSouLjax Oh alright, we are from CO too, so im sure my parents should know your uncle. And it isnt bad out here, nice solitude. Its quite relaxing and on top of that activities dont take much cash.

@MissouriLorFamily (this is my other account )Hey i figured out who your uncle Choj is. He lives in Neosha or something. My uncle brought him up and says that he has like an 85 toyota pick up. I might see if he wants to sell it and pick it up.

@66SiK Yeah at first i really thought it sucked too. We are kinda far from all those areas, those areas have too much black people. Its quite nice here in Sedalia MO.

Man, I used to live in MO, it sucks. And outside of KC and St. Louis, there's ALOT of racist people, even in Joplin.
