[QUOTE="Aero, post: 1780420, member: 2076"] I've had a change of heart. I talked to the gin operator and he said that everything gets run in air temps 200-250 degF which should volatalize any chemicals existing. I'm not sure if that's 100% correct but it's enough for me to think the majority of potential damage has been mitigated. In the last few weeks we've had 40 tons delivered in ~445lb bales. Handling has required a learning curve since they arent very stable stacked 3 high and forks take a little too much pushing to keep from knocking some off the truck. The cows are happy to eat it and I'm glad we have it. We can take 4 bales at a time with the tractor but are working on a sled feeder for the ATV/UTV so we don't destroy pastures or use as much diesel. I ended up with $16/bale in them - $71/ton. Delivered 750lb hay is ~$58/bale - $155/ton. We have an old building with the end removed and I plan on packing it full if possible. It might not be the best but it's decent insurance. [/QUOTE]
