Sun is Shinin'; Make Hay!

The sun has been shining.  As the landscape dries, so does the hay.  Mike is finishing up the 2019 hay crop today.  It has been a good year. 

Second cut hay is known for its green and vibrant color.  Mike says, "this is what cows eat in heaven," describing the protein-packed bales of animal food.  Thankfully, our ground has water very close to the surface and this three year old alfalfa (some of it is that old), has roots tapped down to that water source.  This is good because Farmer Mike has yet to figure out how to make the shiny new diesel pump work for the tinkle of water running through our ditch.  "Houston, we have a problem."
