According to L.A. City Councilman Bill Rosendahl, the hybrid perk costs the city about $46,000 per year. Los Angeles Department of Transportation officials puts that number at $116,000.

Orchard/Alfalfa Hay. Commonly known as O&A, Orchard/Alfalfa has continued to grow in popularity and demand. It is available in both two string and compressed bales, and The Hay Exchange typically sources it from the western United States.
Haylage, also known as round bale silage, is another approach to preserving forage in eastern North Carolina. Haylage is simply forage that is baled at a higher moisture content than dry hay and then stored in a sealed plastic wrap. Because of the high moisture level and air-tight environment, the forage ferments and is preserved by acid production during fermentation.
