Farmers expect better year for hay
CORTEZ — This past winter’s abundant snowfall has resulted in a bumper crop of hay with many farmers in Montezuma County expecting to get three cuttings of hay and to benefit from prices that are expected to remain high.
The Durango Herald reported that the first cuttings of hay are already leaving the field, which then enables farmers to set second and third cuttings at optimum times during the growing season. Some farmers have not even had to irrigate in order to produce that first crop because of the spring and winter moisture.
