Last week, while driving through Nebraska, my husband and I saw many LARGE pile of hay sitting out in fields. Some piles were new (from this year's harvest), but some were obviously from last year - grey and rotten-looking. My question is: why do these farmers let their hay stacks rot? Is there some purpose to this? Just curious... Laura
