Anybody else got any favourite farming fragrances
I've said it before and I'll say it again, for me it's a mix of cows in a cowshed, hay and cigarette smoke. I have never smoked, but all those that I grew up with did!
Personally, I prefer chanel no 5!I know it's a pretty unproductive grass, as far as agricultural production goes, but I really do like the smell of it, either in hay or when it's mown or when you walk on it. I got a bit more top dressing done this morning and walked through a patch when going back to the tractor.............. Aaahhhh, what a great smell. I reckon if I could bottle it I could give Chanel No5 a run for it's money.

IME, it's never present in big enough quantities to be a problem - makes it smell really good though.Just found this post - has anyone actually seen or known of sweet vernal grass in their DRY hay that caused harm to cows or horses?
I've read that the vernal grass becomes problem when it molds, but is not harmful(?) in dry hay. I should think silage would or could have sweet vernal grass issues is there is enough in it.
What about it - dry hay? Any known issues when a bale of hay has some of it in the bale and is fed out to cattle or horses?
