First Cutting
While sweet onions, grapes, and wheat are the top agricultural products in the Walla Walla Valley, the geographic area also includes large acreage in alfalfa. The ice age flood silts and wind deposited silts combined with irrigation and generally dry air are the right combination for highly productive alfalfa fields.
Late May and early June is the usual time for the first cutting of alfalfa hay with two more cuttings to follow throughout the summer.
But with luck a farmer may get a fourth cutting in early autumn.
