Proud farmers, Wayne and Karen Robinson have been living off their land for 40 years. At their farm near Saint-Eustache, Que., in the Laurentians — about 50 kilometres northwest of Montreal — they grow a variety of crops, including hay for horses.
When the hay is freshly cut, it’s soft and feathery, Karen says. “That’s what the horses really like. It’s like candy to them.”
Once cut, the hay needs three days without rain to dry.
Normally, the Robinsons would have cut their hay three weeks ago, but the bad weather has meant they have had to hold off on the first harvest.
