Loose Hay By Measure

Categories: Grains and Forage Crops

How many cubic feet should be allowed for a ton of alfalfa hay loaded on

a wagon from the shock? I must sell more or less in that way, as no

scales are near enough to be used.



It is a proposition, as to the weight of loose hay, which could of

course keep changing the higher you built the load on the wagon. It is

easier to give figures on weight from a stack in which there has been

something like uniform pressure for a time. In the case from a 30-day

stack it is common to allow an eight-foot cube to a ton, etc. Perhaps

you can guess from that.
