Dry hay and silage systems for handling forages are well-represented .Pastures also play a significant role in the production and handling of livestock feeds.Harvest of cereals starts in late August and continues well into September. Many farmersswath grain prior to combining to facilitate uniform drying . Several farmers are decreasing theweather dependence of small grain harvest by the use of grain drying or high moisture storage.There is a limited number of market garden and pick-your-own operations in the area .The climate in the area is well suited to the production of cool weather crops such as broccoli,brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower and parsnips .
