we did similar 2017 put about 750 ton in pit, that saved our bacon last year, policy now is yes, if the price is right, and the product is right, might not need it when you clamp/bale it, the old boys always said a rick of hay extra is like money in the bank. reckon they were right, been offered lot of hay in field, mowing now!!
