Description
This photograph shows us what it looks like when winter finds itself creeping that much closer.
When winter finally falls upon us, it finds that most baling and field work has been completed with the farmers and ranchers having their hay and straw all ready for the cold spell, leaving the fields filled only with the stalk of what were once full grown plants of wheat, legumes, grass and other herbaceous plants that have been cut, dried and stored for the use as animal fodder, particularly for grazing animals such as cattle, horses, goats, and sheep.
Hay can be used as animal fodder when there is not enough pasture or rangeland for the animals to graze or when grazing is unavailable due to cold winter weather conditions or drought.
Poor quality hay is dry, bleached out and coarse-stemmed. Sometimes hay bales stored outdoors will look like this on the outside but will still be green inside the bale. A dried, bleached or coarse bale is still edible and provides some nutritional value as long as it is dry and not mouldy, dusty or rotting inside.
Once the summer crop has been cut leaving just the stalk or the main stem of the herbaceous plant, most farmers will leave it as such and not turn it over. Leaving it this way will help reduce wind erosion that can happen as the wind blows away the top surface of the field.
