Alice:
Wait. [pause] Alice:
We should cut that field. Joe Bell:
I don't cut for silage. I leave it for hay. Alice:
They're all skin and bone. [pause] Joe Bell:
Come here. I wanna show you summat. [pause] Joe Bell:
It's shepherd's needle. You don't see it very often. Not round here, anyway. When it comes through its seed pods, they look like a needle. When you cut it for silage, all you end up doing is... killing everything that's under it. In one acre of hay meadow... you've got 400 million insects. 600 million mites. Two million spiders. Burnet moths. Butterflies, bees. Voles, shrews. Yeah, yeah... [pause] Alice:
But, Joe... silage is better for 'em
