Do you think if the hay is a bit wet when baled, if you leave the bales in the field for awhile it is better than stacking them right away?
they used to salt loose hay when stacking to beat a storm, we used salt on little bales baled too green... helps keep the fire danger down as the hay heatsZilly said:Excuse my ignorance, but what is the purpose of the salt? To draw the moisture out? It's not a practice I've heard of in my tiny slice of the world.
