Fall Cutting

9” x 12”

A farmer will generally cut hay 3 times a season, with each run through the field yielding grass that’s slightly less nutritious. The art of choosing when to cut for the last time—just before the frost ends the growing season— is one acquired by experience and frequent consultations of the weather. In this field, up the valley on the way to Tunbridge, you can see in the maple to the right that peak fall is just a memory.
