Put that in the barn

  1. Most of those hay rolls weight a bit more than a few hundred pounds.

  2. Seeing as that is straw,not likely going in the barn unless you have an open air shed. Besides, round bales are pretty good at shedding water.

  4. Obviously AI. Thinking that any farmer would set them in front of where he needs to still work.

  5. Round bales are packed tight enough that they are fairly water proof. The outside couple inches get kind of mangy looking, but interior is preserved. The down side is if they catch fire they are still water proof and laugh off a fire hose. You can either unroll the flaming bale and douse it, or sit back, keep the surrounding material from igniting, and watch it burn. Takes several hours. I once saw a 50 acre field of round bales on fire, thousands of $$ in hay literally going up in smoke. We just surrounded the field to keep it from spreading and waited it out.
