In Reply to: Wet hay bales posted by huskergreen on August 17, 2020 at 17:28:10:
A neighbor farmer used to put up nothing but sloppy wet small bales. So wet and heavy it made you wonder how the baler was tying them and throwing them into the wagon.
He had a fan and a tunnel in the hay mow, and would HEAVILY salt the fresh hay.
Now, salt does work to draw out moisture through osmosis, but I don't know how throwing salt on one side of the bale does any good. To me you would have to mix the salt throughout the bale.
We put up plenty of "steamed" hay in our time too, but not to the extent that this guy did. Always let the hay sweat it out on the wagons for a few days if we could, and spread it out in a single layer in the mow if we needed the wagons. The cows always LOVED it. Ate it like candy. No salt required.
