MEASURING HAY IN STACK

Reply to Andrew Wright, Sidewood,
Sask.: 'Will you please send me a
formula FIR measuring hay in the
stack?"
For obtaining the number OF tons
Of hay in a stack, the first step is to
measure the width and length with a
tape line, and then what is known as
the overthrow, that is, pass a tape
line from the bottom of the stack on
one side over to the bottom on the
other side and divide this measure
ment which is called the overthrow
by three, then multiply the length by
the width, and this by o2e-third OF
the overthrow-this gives you the
number of cubic feet in the stack. OF
course, il the stack is different
widths or different heights you will
have to take the measurements in
several places and obtain the average
of these by adding them together and
dividing by the number Of measure
ments made.
The number of cubic feet Of hay
Per ton varies considerably with the
length of time that it has been stacl ed.
With newly stacked hay it will take
about 500 cubic feet to equal a ton.
II it has been stacked for two to
three months, from $50 to 400 cubic
feet will equal ton. After you have
obtained the number of cubic feet in
the stack, divide by the number OF
cubic feet in a ton, taking into con-
sideration the length Of time that the
hay has been stacked.
