A farmer was sitting on a bale of hay in a field.

I went up to him and said, “Aren’t you the farmer that was arrested?”

He said, “Yes but I’m out on bale.”

The haulers were in getting a load of hay for their western Washington customers.  They can load hay onto their trailers amazingly fast using the boom loader!

Soil fertility is an important part of producing high quality grass hay.

Every time we harvest a cutting from our hay fields it removes some of the nutrients from the soil.  Soil testing tells us about soil health, what nutrients need replenished and how much to apply.

Today we applied phosphorus to our fields.  As it washes into the soil over the winter it will feed and strengthen the grass roots.  We like keeping our fields happy and healthy!
