When I feed round bales some of my weedy, moldy, rotten, etc. "hay" is uneaten.
If it sits there it seems to take too long to decompose and the grass doesn't grow good in the spring. I've thought about the old tractor pto powered grinder/mixers (hammermill types) I've seen sitting unused around various farms. I've thought of acquiring one, forking old hay into it and grinding it, then spreading back onto the land as "fertilizer". That's alot of effort for probably minimal benefit. What is best to do with round bale "butts" etc.? kelly
