Description
Does it make sense to invest the time, labor and equipment in harvesting hay and then lose 30% of it during storage? With a 1l50 # round bale, worth $65/ton, this would amount to a loss of 345 # of hay, valued at $11.21, per bale. A producer who feeds his own hay is not only out the value of the damaged hay, but may have to purchase additional feed to replace that lost, doubling his expense.
