Alfalfa hay is mainly used as feed for cattle and is big business in Arizona, with Arizona farms exporting over $100 million of alfalfa overseas a year.

      This video is great! Off topic, but I find it funny that the presenter is so pale white because he seems like the kinda guy that would be outdoors a lot.

      Getting an education on stuff I only knew a little about. Good one OP.
