retailer which operates dairy
stores in the Scranton Wilkes-

the state’s most outspoken critic

PLAN HAY DRYING
It takes time to install a hay
drier, says Joseph A. McCurdy,
extension agricultural engineer
at Penn State. The time to plan
for the installation is when the
haying season is still a few
months away. A barn hay drier
helps beat the weather, cuts
down leaf losses, and increases
total digestible nutrients.
