In Reply to: Hot hay bales????? posted by SJ on June 16, 2006 at 05:21:26:
I am no expert, but generally hay that is baled before it is totally dry will heat, and then cool down as it cures. Hay that I have had heat up a good bit, generally does not keep well enough to feed to horses. That would be my first concern. There isn't much to look for, if the hay gets too hot it will begin to smolder in the middle of the pile and burn its way outward. I've never had it happen or seen it happen, but have heard if you open a pile that is smoldering, the rush of oxygen will really get the fire going. You could try a temperature probe, but I'm not sure what temperature to draw the line at for safety. If the hay was anywhere close to being dry enough to feed to a horse, I doubt that it would heat enough to be a fire threat. You may need to find other hay to feed though. Josh
