During haying season, one of the challenges producers face is reducing drying times, especially in regions experiencing more frequent rainfall events. Frequent rainfall events limit the opportunity to make hay without moisture damage. Fresh cut forage ranges from 70 to 80 per cent moisture which must be reduced to safely bale. The primary goal is to reduce the amount of time required to field cure hay to the desired moisture content of 14 to 18 per cent to prevent heating and moulding.
