Oh man 😳 I can see exactly what you are saying about that humidity. That was a very honorable thing to go see the customers hay though😁 Hopefully you can get that 4th cutting and fill your orders. I see what you are saying about holding the hay🤔😉 Thank you mu friend for bringing us along!! 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻
Been there done that with leaving it on the wagon... If you pull it off and stack it will only get the outside bales... Closing the barn up will stop it also...
That's discouraging after getting it safely in the barn. I have seen similar only in a loft above cows with extended time indoors. But if anything could do this, it would be Helene's breath!
Can you mitigate that risk by stacking tightly (not leaving in the kicker wagon jumble) for less surface and keeping the barn doors closed? Maybe propane heaters like the vineyards use for frost but set on wide dirt patches (for safety) at the doors with industrial sized fans to blow dried air through the barn after high moisture events? Our old barn had slats on the hay side for the days of putting away loose hay and a huge electric motor with airplane propellers to force air under and up through the hay to avoid interior mold.
I hear what your saying about the hay mold. I haven't had that happen with surface mold, but internal I have had, which we usually put rock salt on top while we stack it on edge. Well that's just a shame, I hope you can get it sold, good luck with it!

You're not the only one having trouble with musty/moldy hay. We are having the same problem. It's very frustrating.
Yes it is!

Thanks!
Some of the problems that happen when making hay.
Very true!
Well crap! I have not seen that.
Always something!
Teff Grass will do that also.
Good to know - thanks
Can you pulling out in the sun to burn it off. Hay making is a fickle business
No - I think the damage is done…
We generally get mold inside but it puffs out dust just like yours. Frustrating. Won’t hurt cows or goats.
Yes - over the years, the goat people have barn good to us… 😎
