[QUOTE="Bez+, post: 566671, member: 6797"] You stack it in Illinois and do not tarp it you will have the centre area where all three bales touch rot big time. We stack several hundred a year - our ecosystem can be roughly compared to yours. Take advice from someone in your own area on this matter - but you guys get rain - all that rain runs around the outside of the bales and collects where they make contact - and rot happpens - you literally can lose almost 50% of the hay if you are not careful. Cover it or run in long single rows - north to south and do not let the rows touch.Store it on well drained ground or it will rot from the bottom up. There are massive and I do mean massive amounts of information on this matter on this site - start your search and be wary of any info that comes from areas that do not have similar weather systems as you. What works for them could be a disaster for you. Go talk to a local -find out how they do it. Put up a building, tarp it or row it on well drained areas. Best of luck. Regards Bez+ [/QUOTE]
