What does ROWEN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A second crop of hay or grass cut from the same field in one growing season, known too as the aftermath.
After the first hay is cut and dried in early summer, a field can send up fresh growth that ripens for a second cutting later in the year, and that later crop is the rowen. Farmers in New England and parts of Britain have used the word for this second harvest for centuries, distinguishing it from the earlier, usually larger first cutting. The term can also describe a stubble field left to grow late grass for grazing rather than for hay.
How ROWEN is used
A farming term for the second hay cutting of a season; still current in some regional agricultural speech.
- The dry weather gave the farm a thin rowen that autumn.
- Cattle grazed the rowen once the first hay was safely in the barn.
- A good rowen can be worth almost as much as the first cutting.
- They mowed the rowen in early September before the frosts began.
- The field yielded a heavier rowen than the farmer expected.
