HAY

  1. Howard's an all-around guy....

    We saw a lot of those european-type round hay bales in Ontario and Quebec, too. They are almost unknown away out here. But there seem to be more of those round cotton bales [?] that are made by machines derived from the hay balers. My bosses drive back to New Mexico (they have land back there) to purchase hay for their alpacas. Almost all the hay out here is alfalfa, which doesn't agree with alpacas. They get some sort of grass--timothy? or ??--hay for their alpacas, and the price in New Mexico is so much lower than here it is worth the drive (and a big trailer, and a big diesel pickup to tow it).

    I agree with listener that craisins do have a lot of sugar, but otherwise they would be too tart to eat. I wouldn't want to eat very many of the out of hand, as I do raisins ("nature's candy"), but a few sprinkled into oatmeal or muffins or salad make a nice touch.

    2. Up here the big round bales are often grasses or alfalfa, but could be a mix of wheat, oats, barley and grasses.
