<description><![CDATA[ (Aug 14, 2006) Everywhere you look this time of year, you see miles and miles of hay.  Hay in round bales, square bales, wrapped in white plastic, lined in long strips across fields, piled in a big wagon hitched to the back of a tractor.

Farms, like ones in Hopkinton and Madrid, have entire operations based on raising calves until they’re ready to produce milk.  David Sommerstein spoke with Joseph te Riele, a dairy farmer in Canton.
