What to do with hay?

Long story short. Neighbor was square baling some late cut hay in mid-October, and was slow getting it picked up off the field. Last weekend he fell off from a load of hay and was injured pretty bad, ended up hospitalized for several days. No way will he be doing anything more with this hay this year. He has no livestock of any kind, and this hay is marginal for feed anyway. No place to store it inside, as barns are already full from the summer's crop. About 2,000 bales left to pick up off the fields yet. A group of guys are going to try and get it gathered up this weekend, but we don't know of any market for the hay here in central MN. Anybody have any suggestions? Tried a couple construction outfits to use it as erosion control, but they don't want to store it over winter and also prefer big bales over the small squares. Would like to eliminate a step and not have to outside store it if possible. Rather get it sold and gone if possible. Not looking to get much for it, just cover the cost of twine and fuel for him if possible.
 
Around here, there is a hay auction every thursday where farmers bring their hay on a wagon, it's sold there, and then the buyer either loads it onto his own wagon/truck/trailer, or hauls it home on that wagon, unloads it at his place and brings the wagon back to the lot by Sunday so the empty wagon can be picked up by it's owner.

It's held through Equity, who has several auction barns throughout the area.

Boy,

If I were closer, I'd sure take it! Can't have enough hay.

17th of January and the wind's a tearin' like a banchee, those old cows will eat a coat hanger if ya offer it to 'em. :>)

Contact Al Wessell, MidAmerican Auctioneers, at Sauk Centre. He has hay sales and many contacts. google for his auction website.
 
Thanks for the suggestions. Hay has not been rained on, but about 1" of snow that has since melted off.
 
If its good now, it can stay outside fine over the winter but will spoil in the warm weather. Should be fed out over the winter.
 
That isn't gonna hurt it one little bit.

Put 'er up in big rounds and ship 'er to Texas. You'll make a killin'.
