Hay and Double Cropping. Farming in the Nevada Desert

Paul discusses Cannon Ranch hay crop yields based on planting time:
🌱 The height difference in the hay crops shows the impact of planting skips, highlighting the importance of proper planting techniques for optimal growth.
🌱 Fall-planted hay crops in the Nevada Desert have the advantage of sprouting in the fall and winter, allowing them to develop more roots and withstand the heat better.
🌾 The delayed hay cutting in the Nevada Desert due to cool temperatures and excessive rain and snow indicates the impact of climate change on agricultural practices.
🚀⏰ Timing is a key factor in hay growth, suggesting that the right conditions and timing are crucial for a successful crop.
🔄 The practice of double cropping, where corn is planted after the hay is cut, enables farmers to obtain a significant amount of corn silage for feed.
🌱 By keeping a living root growing in the soil all the time, the plants thrive and the microorganisms in the soil remain healthy, ultimately building the soil instead of damaging it.
