Peaceful Minutes

 

The natural vegetation of the prairies on which Forney was built was primarily a mixture of tall grasses, which made especially nutritious and clean hay. At first the hay was often free for the cutting on the unfenced prairie, but soon large meadows were fenced off by their owners, and a thriving economy grew around the production and marketing of Forney Blackland Prairie Hay. Huge hay warehouses were built along both sides of the railroad in town, and local hay producers and hay merchants prospered. Forney Hay became famous nationwide.

Welcome! Love the picture. It is so peaceful looking. Its always nice to have history surrounding you but I'll admit even though I love history I've been bad about getting the kids out to the local sites. I guess I should try harder.
