Pretty much all grass hay, timothy and brome are the most common by far, though we have quite a bit of meadow foxtail in some of our fields. Nobody that I know of does any legumes other than maybe some peas for silage (my grandpa used to on the dairy), mostly due to patchy weather making second cutting drydown harder. In Fairbanks where I am at used to be lots of potatoes and several big dairys, but our state killed off the dairys by subsidizing milk from washington and all the tater farmers passed on. There is quite a few market gardens, and one guy raising beef cattle with around 400 head. Lots of hay for horses.
Down in Delta where the state tried the barley project years ago there is a lot of hay, barley, oats, some potatoes and other veggies and some dairys and some elk and buffalo ranches.
In Palmer further south, farming has been going on since the new deal brought the ag colony up from the midwest in `35, and it is really the breadbasket of Alaska still. Some grain production, lots of hay, dairy and beef, smaller stock farms, and pretty much any vegetable that you can get to grow in the sub-arctic.
Not to ramble, but I`m kind of a Alaska ag history geek, most people who live here don`t realize our colorful farming history and how much potential this state has.

Let�s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
