No sooner does a blast from winter sweep through the region, than farmers are back at it, this one doing a little spring cleaning of a nearby hay field. The cattle are still feeding on hay because pastures are not quite fully nutritional, so bringing in a few more bales of hay will help carry the herd through until spring.
The trailer the farmer here is pulling out to the field will carry a few big round bales of hay back to the feedlot. It will also remove the last of the bales in the field in preparation for the coming hay crop this spring.
