Super sized compressed alfalfa hay bales are stacked along the side of a harvested alfalfa near Holtville, California

---

Alfalfa hay bales have become "super-sized" to now weight between 1,800 to 2,000 pounds each. This farm equipment machine can be converted from handling the traditional hay bale to the super bale within an hour. Sixteen mega bales are the unloaded in stacks along the field where this crop was collected. The Imperial Valley of California is still rich in agricultural products.
