Dennis, I would NEVER take responsibity for the 'right' answer to your
question, given the devastating risk involved.Please focus on local
advise, reflecting a neighborhood awareness of temps, precidents and
risk. Dick

Subject: [Graze-l] Spontaneous combustion
Hi every one,
A quick question about spontaneous combustion with hay. At what
temperature do I need to worry about round bales of hay being stored in
a building with some tough moisture spots which are heating up. Most of
the hay is dry enough -- just a few high moisture spots. The bales are
solid core orchard grass, 5' wide and are stacked vertical two high on
solid wooden floor. The spots are F 135 degrees in the spots surrounded
by F 85 degree hay in the rest of the bale. It 5 days old.
Thanks for your answer.
