Where There's Water, John Day OR

Uploaded: August 25, 2010

Description

In a long narrow valley along the John Day River, alfalfa fields are green and lush. This is in Grant County, Oregon which is desert country. Water from the John Day River makes it possible to grow excellent alfalfa crops and get several cutting each year.

Have a Great Day

Alfalfa is widely grown throughout the world as forage for cattle, and is most often harvested as hay, but can also be made into silage, grazed, or fed as green-chop. Alfalfa has the highest feeding value of all common hay crops and when grown on soils where it is well-adapted, alfalfa is the highest yielding forage plant and can grow up to 20 years. #1301729

Gorgeous photo with outstanding dof and foreground to background interest, Denny. There's just a wisp of a low-lying cloud, and I love that light on the hills. Very crisp and vastly pleasing. #8862687
