Extension Calling

Unroll or spread Flood damaged hay to allow it to decompose more quickly and prevent fires.  Place hay in areas which need erosion control or nutrients.  Protect your lungs, wear a mask the entire time you work with flood damaged forages.  Do not unroll hay in areas where livestock are currently or will be placed before the hay fully decomposes.  Do not feed flood damaged hay.  For more information contact your local extension office or visit: https://extension.wvu.edu/community-business-safety/disaster-preparedness/flooding/forage-livestock-management-after-flooding
