HAY HARVESTING
(Test Program)
This will be a one year test program for hay harvesting from the Airport land
previously maintained by the Airport's maintenance staff. The approximate area is
100 acres.
ADVANTAGES OF THIS PROGRAM:
Further reduction of maintaining the airside and landside properties
of the Airport.
If the program is successfiil, the Airport will be able to reduce the size
of mowing equipment for the mowing season year 2001 . This will
reduce the cost allocation to the City of Fayetteville Motor Pool.
DISADVANTAGES OF THIS PROGRAM:
As the land involved will become hayfields, the appearance of closely
mowed fields will not have the neat aesthetical appearance of years
past.
