[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1770215, member: 498"] Here there is hundreds of thousands of acres of irrigated farm land. A popular rotation is potatoes, wheat, and alfalfa. Thus a lot of alfalfa for sale. Mostly in 3x4x8 big squares. There are semi loads going up and down the highway all the time. Depending on the weather the cows stay in the hills grazing until sometime in December. It is roughly the middle of April turn out in the spring. Our little river irrigates about 30,000 acres. It is all hay or pasture, mostly grass hay. One cutting. There is some alfalfa grown. to the lower end we get 3 cuttings. Those up stream by the dam are a lot higher and only get 2 cuttings. My irrigated ground we get one cutting of grass hay. About 2.5-3 tons per acre. They graze off the regrowth in the fall. This year the regrowth supplied grazing for 3 500 pound weaned calves per acre for 2.5 months. [/QUOTE]
