Making Hay

The valley floor is buzzing with activity these days. Farmers are mowing, threshing, and baling hay at a feverish rate -- it's reminiscent of the old saying, make hay while the sun shines.

Yesterday, there were seven big farm implements working a large field off Gordon Road -- threshers fluffing winrows of hay and baling equipment chugging out big bricks of the stuff.

The bricks are stacked into tall towers and within a day or two, semi-truck drivers pull into the fields where their rigs are loaded with this year's hay harvest.
