How many bales of hay can fit in a haystack?

Answer 1

Hay can be baled in several sizes and shapes, such as square, rectangular, or circular. These are left in the fields to dry out for months to a year. Wet or damp hay bales can spontaneously combust, so the bales must be completely dried inside and outside.

Hay can be stored in hay stacks or hay mowls inside barns. A mowl is simply a hay loft -- a platform on the 2nd story with an opening in the center of the barn where hay can be thrown down to animals kept in the barn.

Stacking hay depends on the size of the storage area and size of the hay bales. For example, one farmer has a small barn, but another farmer has a large barn. Here, it becomes simple math problems: (1) figuring out the area of the amount of storage space and (2) the size of the bales x number of bales.

Hay also needs air, so some farmers may not stack them tightly together or not completely to the top. For example, if a farmer needs to stand next to the hay storage, the walking area may limit how many bales he can store in that area.

Answer 2

As many as the farmer wants to put there.
