ALBA - Agriculture and Land-Based Training Association ALBA hosted more than 200 guests for Autumn Harvest Day on October 17. Many enjoyed hay rides to the sudangrass maze, which grew 6 feet in only three months even in the cool-weather Salinas Valley. While many farmers will continue to produce through the winter, the next harvest day will be in Spring 2010.
