What happens here

The presenter, Josh, from Stoney Ridge Farmer, introduces the project of managing approximately 90 bales of free hay. He explains that some of the hay is old and unusable, which will be spread in areas on the farm experiencing erosion to rehab the land. The good hay will be stacked for sale on Craigslist and used to feed their goats. He explains that round hay bales, similar to thatched roofs, allow water to cascade off, preventing spoilage, even if they were baled the previous July. He plans to sell good bales for $30 each, with a discount to $25 per bale for purchases of five or more.

Goal: Understand the purpose of hay management and assess hay quality for different uses.
