German term or phrase: haben 25 ha Grünland gemäht und eingefahren
Hi, I understand that they mowed hectares of grassland but what is eingefahren in this sense? Is it when farmers leave the hay on the ground? Is there a specific word in English for this?
Thanks in advance

Explanation:
Comes to mind spontaneously.

They cut the hay and brought it in.

While technically still grass when being cut, a farmer would always say "we are cutting hay today". If you are cutting grass, you are moving the lawn. At least in the US.

neutral  Birgit Gläser: it is only hay after it has dried... if they cut it and immediately brought it in, it would still be grass ;-)

  -> Whether it be hay or grass - it is still being "brought in" and that is the term in question.
