[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 806650, member: 968"] My bales go right on the ground. The same area has been used for 30 years, so a lot of the top soil is gone, but enough to create mud. We put up mostly baleage, so they are a non-issue. The 60-150 dry bales a year that we have isn't worth creating something to put them on. As I stated, I do not have enough spoilage to warrent doing anything different. All our hay is put up by a neighbor - and his baler always makes a super tight bale. I think that is the biggest secret to keeping dry hay in good condition outside - AND NET WRAP. Net wrap really "sheds" the water. I think more hay is wasted when fed than from storage. [/QUOTE]
