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. Even using the higher figure, eliminating free parking for hybrids will hardly make up for the cityâs budget shortfall of approximately $500 million this year.
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.
Hereâs my response: Hay bales are a food source. That is the first and perhaps most important difference. Hay is actually a plant that is cut when it is alive and full of grain. The purpose of the hay is to feed animals. Straw, on the other hand, is simply the stalks of standing plants that contain no grain. The grain is harvested from the plants by a machine that cuts it off of the stalk. The grain is then removed from the field and the stalks are left to die, standing.
