Around here wheat straw is baled in rounds and then fed into a hammer mill-grinder and mixed with feed and fed to cattle. One of the guys down the road does nothing but round bale wheat straw he buys off combined land and sells it to cattle diary farmers to grind into feed.
We will leave Hay Dude to supply the grass hay to mushroom dirt thing. Wheat straw, preferably rained on makes good bedding too. The rain washes off the wax coating and allows it to be more absorbent.
It’s not just left to me. It’s an entire industry. It covers the mid Atlantic states from New York to Virginia. Your ignorance on what mulch hay is and why it exists astounding, but not surprising. The biggest growers in the mid atlantic are all involved.
The best part allows any rained on hay to be sold at a lower cost ($120/ton), instead of trying to pass it off as good feed hay, 5030/ sidecarflip.
