We are not baling hay yet...but today we got the mower out and started mowing for straw.
The Rye & Vetch last week 
The Rye & Vetch & Chris & Lael Today
We mowed all of our rye and Hairy Vetch today, it has been grown to enrich the soil with organic matter and to fix nitrogen. We grow many cover crops here on our farm, but the only ones that over winter (meaning they do not die with the frost) are Winter Rye and Hairy Vetch.

We will bale it up and use it as straw for our strawberries and garlic.
