Alfalfa usually has the highest feeding value of all the common hay crops and is most often used as feed for dairy cows because of its mix of high protein and highly digestible fiber. This alfalfa field cost our client more than the maize fields even though it was less than an eighth of the survey area where the corn fields were about three quarters of the survey area.

As I mentioned yesterday, one advantage of flying in a helicopter that has no doors is that your can get shots like this one, looking straight down onto the field of maize (corn) we were flying over. I recall I had to lean out quite some way to avoid getting the skids in the shot.
