Alfalfa Bales
Rows of hay bales in the fields here are an ephemeral sight. The hay baler, equipped with powerful headlights, does its work at night, and the bale harvester, shown at left, gets right to the task straight away in the morning.
They’re getting many crops of alfalfa this season out of this field south of our house. Alfalfa seems like an easy crop to grow: once you cut it, it comes right back for another crop. It just takes lots of water from parched groundtables.
