Green feed question.

[hillsdown]

What percent moisture can green feed be baled at without molding or getting too hot. Soft core lrg round baler.

Thanks.

Are you wraping it? If so I thing 45-50% will be ok.

 

[hillsdown]

No Kenny, it will be just like hay somewhat but it is oats and barley so I was thinking 15/16 % moisture.

Sorry, yes 16 or less and 12 would be better. Hard to get there with oats though.

Thanks Kenny.
