spraying hay?

[izzyxxx]

i had a hay delivery the other day and the woman said that she has just cut some more, sprayed it once, then the rain washed it off so she had to spray it again. I was just wondering what do you spray hay with and why?

i have onlyt just thought to question it as some new people have arrived on the yard and say their hay is organic, i am proberbly a bit dumb but i though all hay 'in effect' was organic because you don't need to spray it with chemicals such as pesticides(sp) or am i wrong?

would love to know the answer thanks in advance

Never heard of this

Our farmer cuts it, turns it, rolls it, bales it, stacks it. Think you should find out what she is talking about.

I have heard of people spraying it (what with I don't know) to dry it quicker

People opposite us had theirs sprayed last year with stuff tat supposedly made it more like haylage, ie less dusty, but I bought 20 bales off them in the end and it didn't seem all that different to me, still madeone of mine cough which she does on dry hay but not on haylage.
