The Clinton Junior Farmers, Cattlemen’s Associa- Here's a hot tip on hay BY RON FLEMING AGRICULTURAL ENGINEER FOR HURON COUNTY How’s the haying going? As this is being written we are in the middle of some rather dry weather. It looks like a pretty good year for putting in dry hay. However, if you happen to put hay into the bam that is tough and you find it heating up take note of the following temperatures: 65 C (150 F) check daily - danger zone 70 C (158 F) check every four hours 80 C (176 F) fire pockets may now be expected - call the fire depart ment, wet down hay - hay has already lost its basic-nutrient value 85 C (185 F) remove hay immedi ately - make sure fire department is on hand 99 C (210 F) Critical. Hay is almost sure to ignite. You can measure the tempera ture if you suspect heating in your mow. Use a 10’ length of conduit with Vi inch holes drilled near the end. Fix a point to the end and shove this into the hay. Then lower a candy or oven thermometer with a 12 foot cord. Tty this in different locations. Don’t take chances with heating hay. It is one of the leading causes of bam fires. •BACKHOE EXCAVATION •BULLDOZING RANDY BABCOCK 482-5773 or Grandview Lunch 523-4471 4 kg 593-188 Prices in effect until July 31, 1987.
