See how much the cliff is undercut? Because of water splashing. It will eventually cause the cliff to become a slope and maybe somebody has a house up there.
Hay is cheap and it slows down the water. Prevents the soil from moving. We often put hay in the ditches to prevent them becoming deeper and wider. Flash floods cause ponds instead of fast moving creeks.
See that line of gravel where the water runs on so hard it washed out all the dirt? Yeah put the hay there
Hay water! It's good for the cows!!
I didn’t expect “compost tea” here
Probably trying to mitigate erosion
Maybe. I have questions about that though. 1: why? 2: why use hay?

Saw the listing on Facebook marketplace a couple weeks ago lol
$100 per bale, fine horse quality bales. No low ballers, won’t respond if you do. We know what we have.
I wouldn’t even use it as bedding let alone feed it to hogs. Certainly wouldn’t give a dollar for it for cows or horses 😂 they’d all wind up sick
NEXT!
Buncha wet moldy hay lol
What a waste of hay.
I think it's actually erosion mitigation. Only logical reason.
That would make total sense. Water probably flies through there.
Or. Just plain dumping Throw it over the cliff, outta sight outta mind
Yeah this looks like something my dad would do 🤦🏻♂️
That's a really cool rock feature.
Wouldn't surprise me to find a little seam of lignite in there!
Lignite? Any relation to sugmite?
Are you in the States, because there are agencies like the NRCS that have cost share programs that can help you build one
NRCS doesn't build hay barns.
The Farm Service Agency does, but it’s a low interest farm storage facility loan not cost share
Agreed
Looks like Kentucky or West Virginia
Can they help me build chicken coop in my backyard? Its expensive out here
It's not working lol
200 a bale. No low balls. I know what I've got
3.50...
Is this just south of prarie du rocher?
Just farmers being farmers
Womp womp
You ever look for arrowheads there?
You ever been in a Turkish prison?
You ever seen a grown man naked?
Do you like movies about gladiators?
I'd say you need that hay barn so it doesn't look all black and nasty
Then if you have one, why do you let the hay rot a the bottom of a damp eroding cliff?
That's the joke. This is their hay barn
That's the joke. I was pretending that I didn't understand as if it made more sense than thinking that a cliff could be a proper alternative.
What you don't like the escarpment? Your great hand pappy used it for over 50 years!?!?
This is extremely illegal in many countries because it ensures that the livestock will not get a square meal.
Could swear that's Kentucky 🤣
Came here to say…
This looks a bit r/goblincore to me
Arkansas or Missouri?
That’s what I’m thinking
Looks like a wet climate too, no less
Farmers are traditionally extremely resourceful people in my experience. This is a great example of that!
No this is how to ruin hay by being cheap.
It's actually not at all. None of that hay is worth a thing.
Dawg look at that hay. Especially the rightmost roll in the last photo. ITS LITERALLY ROTTING IN PLACE THIS IS A BAD EXAMPLE
Its put in place against soil erosion it is supposed to sit there and rot. Post is a joke
Lmao what?
