Preparedness in the event of fire, and a fire at my place

Negative.   Haybarns are sacrificial.   Round bale stack with a tarp is much cheaper and more efficient.

I sell hay, in small bales, and have a huge hay barn a mile up the road. All the horse farms around here use the small bales and are my customers. I agree with the round bales though, where doubling equipment is not adding expense. The hay barn at the farm held my personal use for the year, which will now have to come out of any of my other cuttings that aren't already spoken for. Fields are small around here and mine are good, so folks jump on them quick. I may have to buy hay, which would be ironic. Think I'll rebuild with the private hay-barn on the other side of the lower paddock though...
