[AT] OT Hay question

[charlie hill]

Thanks Herb and H.L.

I knew it didn't squeeze the hay but rather just kind of crimps it.  I just 
wondered if an appreciable portion of the juice "leaked" out.
There isn't much hay production around here except for some coastal bermuda 
for horse hay.  I haven't seen a mower conditioner working anywhere in this 
area so haven't had a chance to look at them up close.  They are 
occasionally working up in western MD when I'm up that way and they sure do 
pretty work.
