All the recent rains have made
haying difficult this year. If you
happen to be putting hay into the
bam that is tough and you find it is
heating, you may wish to note the
following temperatures.

Critical. Hay is almost sure to
ignite.
If you suspect heating in the
mow use a 10 foot length of pipe
with 1/4 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. Try this in different
locations. Avoid walking on a ‘hot’
mow since you may fall into a fire
pocket.
Don’t take chances with heating
hay. It’s the leading cause of bam
fires.
