For those of you who don’t know it, our family has a farm up in Lassen County, California. It’s called the Bird Flat Ranch. The main crop that Tim and Luke Garrod and company grow is alfalfa. That was also one of the main crops grown in Egypt. In Egypt, it seemed like every farmer grew alfalfa to feed his animals. But we didn’t see any combines or big tractors in Egypt. It was done on a much smaller scale.

The first photo is a guy harvesting alfalfa. He used a scythe and did it all by hand. The second photo is another guy who is hauling his harvested alfalfa to market or to another farm. The third photo is a really big operation. This guy’s got a wagon and is also making some extra money hauling passengers on top of the alfalfa.

Yep Tim and Luke, it could be worse….
