[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 3592296, member: 44728"] How about putting a layer of straw on top. Do you think that would prevent the condensation on the top layer? The condensation is mostly formed by the warm damp air exiting the top of the stack, condensing into droplets in the colder air, then falling back (almost like rain) onto the stack. The only way moisture could physically condense onto the hay surface is if that hay is 5 degrees C or more colder than the air above it. This can happen in warm muggy (Autumn?) conditions. And is often when the hay top bales will deteriorate even on very dry hay. Even without sunlight, the surface will bleach and become dusty. I wonder if putting a layer of Straw on top would prevent this from happening? [/QUOTE]
