[QUOTE="BC, post: 767250, member: 67"] A couple of years ago, I pulled a sample of some square bales that I knew were 10 years old. They were originally put up in 1997 and tested 14.4% CP. In 2007, I had uncovered some of those bales at the bottom and sent a sample in our county's hay evaluation clinic. It tested 14.2% CP. Years ago, an Extension forage specialist named Don Dorsett, spoke at a producer meeting I attended and said hay would keep its quality if stored in a dry environment. he said he saw some alfalfa that had been stored for over 30 years and tested close to what it tested when originally stored.
