Show 20 Percent Limit For Hay Moisture I A large quantity of hay stored in the mow of a barn is not considered con-sidered safe from the danger of spontaneous ignition if the moisture mois-ture content of the hay is more than 20 percent. Weathertight barn construction is essential to keep hay from getting get-ting wet after it has been stored. Leaky barn roofs can be re-covered with asphalt shingles, which not only provide sound shelter but make the roof resistant to flying sparks from brush fires and other outdoor blazes. |
