This time of year so many things have to be done to keep the quality of the Timothy hay to a Premium! Making sure that the irrigation system is properly maintained is so important and necessary. With flood irrigation systems it’s imperative to regularly check and make sure the flow of water is efficiently utilized and not obstructed or diverted while being directed correctly to the fields. As the climate changes from time to time it is very crucial to ensure the limited water resources we have in our lakes and streams can be used to the utmost and not simply wasted. Water is precious and expensive so it’s up to us as hay growers to always use this resource wisely!
