I wasn’t sure when dad bought it but it’s been a good building. It has held up well. I don’t remember exactly but I think it’s about 10 years old. I don’t recall ever seeing it sweat, if it does it doesn’t get on the hay or anything. We have some wind and does well enough it it. Never had a tornado here. This one is a silver stream building. We actually have another one just like it that we are getting ready to put up. Just got some big railroad ties to use for the posts.
I obviously like to pick them up the same day as being baled. However we aren't always able to do that so I'm not about to stop the baler because I can't get them before dark. It has been drier here lately and when we baled this. I let the bales dry before picking them up and if there is a decent amount of dew I'll flip the bales and let them dry prior to picking up. however it is a good way to become more efficient because the bales are ready to pickup prior to the hay being ready to bale so I can pick up hay while waiting for the hay to be ready to bale.
A live would interesting.
That would be cool.
How do y’all like the hoop barn and how does it do about sweeting I am thinking about getting one but no one nearby has one or can tell me about them

You don’t have problems leaving the bales out overnight with absorbing moisture with the dew? I was always afraid to leave them.
There wasn’t much moisture overnight. It’s been really dry here. By the time he picked them up any moisture was dried .

Actually 2 fatalities. A wild turkey went through the mower.
