Transcribed Notes: Transcribed from photo sleeve: "Amargosa Valley, Nye county, Nevada, 1980. Pivot watering system has just been installed on the property belonging to Hank Records and the alfalfa is beginning to grow. When alfalfa is first seeded, oats are also planted as a cover crop. The oats, which protect the tender alfalfa seedlings, are later cut, and the alfalfa takes over."
