Hauling, Stacking, and Storage of

Hauling and Stacking Steamed Hay During Normal Harvest Operations

● To avoid discoloration of the hay in the stack, you should not stack hay that is above 115° F
□ As a general rule please observe the following:
• Hay baled in the evening or night time can be hauled and stacked the next
morning.
• Hay baled in the early morning to mid-morning before high steam rates are used can be hauled
and stacked the same day.
• Hay baled from mid-morning through the early evening at high steam rates should not be
hauled and stacked until the next morning.

Stacking High-Temperature Steamed Hay When Weather Is a Threat

● If bales of hay must be moved off the field immediately after baling to avoid weather damage, but they are
too hot to stack, wait 1-2 hours and recheck temperature. Small bales dissipate heat much quicker than
large bales.
