For those who
may think that farming is a breeze, check this out. Matt Short of
Central Illinois Feed in Emden and Jo Parr of Mason City were hard
at work this week baling alfalfa. Those who have done this work can
easily testify that it is hot, itchy, heavy labor. This year with
the lack of rain the cut alfalfa is particularly dusty as well. But
at the end of the day, sore arms, achy backs, and sunburns result in
a few wagons full of hay that will help sustain cattle through the
winter. Any cattle farmer will tell you that it is well worth it.
