about today is storing your hay these are round bales we use round bales here on the Stoney Ridge Farm they're easier to handle for one person it's just me and my significant other my wife or ex-wife or whatever we're going to make that into pretty soon my future wife out here on the farm this is about a thousand pound hay bale and it's on the Greg Judy Balin roller we store all of our hay and you can see a row of hay right here outside these round bales have what we would call a thatched roof on it so if you think about it for a millennia people Built Homes and they used thatch they used hey they use straw they use grass-like material to shelter their homes these hay bales have a thatched roof over top of them and they don't go bad when they're sitting outside now you leave this hay bale outside for five years yeah sure it's going to go bad it's going to rot these hay bales were put here in the spring probably sometime yeah mid-may-ish and they're spring cut hay I alternate the hay that I put on the farm in other words in the certain years I'll use a fall cut hay and in certain years I'll rotate and I'll use a spring cut hey those different types of hay have different types of grass seeds in them and we want to stimulate both cool season grasses and warm season grasses here on the farm so each hay bale contains its own seed bank so inside that hay bale is probably I don't know
