JERRY McBRIDE/Herald ¬ Happy Hill drives a tractor while baling hay on on Wednesday southeast of Durango near State Highway 172. Hill was baling the third cutting of alfalfa and orchard grass this year on the family farm that she and her brother Walt and father Leland work. "We have cut hay this late a couple of times over the past years, we're usaully done in October. The later it gets the harder it gets to cure the hay with the cold and frosts". The bales that come out of the back of the baler weigh about 1800 pounds each.
