Crazy day. It looked like it would be clear skies for the next 72 hours, so the second cut of alfalfa was on!
Dan made short work of the field out back of our house, and another farmer joined us with his mower to significantly reduce the time it takes to complete the larger fields.
Dan said that the aphids were at major infestation levels. I don't have any photos, but they ride on the mower, inches thick, and drip down in acid-green waterfalls when the gear is stopped.
No breaking for lunch.
You can't see it here, but the semi-feral barncats skirt the fringes of the field and snag the dazed mice, moles, voles, rats - whatever is running away from the blades.
