Hay Dryer Is
Good Investment
This Season
It has been a tough-spring
for putting up hay. When
hay is rained on m the field
after cutting, as most of it
has been this year, many
food elements are washed
out.
Extension agronomists say
a heat drying system really
makes a difference in the
quality of your hay in a
year like this
The time- needed for field
drying is cut in half by a
drier. The hay can be baled
and put in a drier before
those thundershowers come
up. ~
