Method 32. 
Method 32 is well adapted to an area of 300 acres of irrigated 
alfalfa. Three 5-foot mowers are used, each cutting 10 acres per 
day. The close spacing of irrigation ditches in some cases makes it 
necessary to use more mowers than in others. The sulky rake is 
used for gleaning, and the side-delivery rake for raking into the 
windrows.
