Overview
Forage and hay crops support livestock operations and diversified farm systems throughout Kern County. Alfalfa and forage crops are grown under irrigation, allowing multiple cuttings during the growing season. Managing forage production involves coordinating irrigation cycles, cutting schedules, and baling operations while navigating heat and wind conditions. Timing plays a major role in maintaining feed quality and stand longevity, particularly during summer months.

Instead of relying on word of mouth or chasing down providers, growers can request services, filter for providers equipped to handle high-acreage work, compare availability, and schedule tasks in one place.
