Folks,
I have a question for you. I normally store my hay in the barn as soon as it comes out of the baler. The hay is never in the rain or dew. I have always stored the rolls sitting up like normal. This year I will lay the rolls over on it side, stack two high and then place a roll sitting the normal way on top. I will also be stacking small square bales in the barn also. The barn is closed in on all 4 sides so there is not chance for mositure to get in.
My question is if i could place a sheet of plastic down on the barn's dirt floor to protect the borrom layer of hay rolls or bales? And cons to this thinking?
