What happens here

The farmer details the composition of his hay bales, which consist mostly of fescue grass with some orchard grass, timothy, and a significant amount of native grasses like Eastern Gamma Grass. He explains the dual purpose of the hay: providing nutrition for the cattle and, more importantly, feeding the soil and acting as a giant seed bank for regenerative farming. He highlights the benefit of spreading hay for soil improvement and bedding for cattle.

Goal: Explain the hay's composition and its role in sustainable farming practices.
