Seventeen Kansas farmers using a flail-type chopper to cut and windrow hay reported wafers formed by adding moisture during wafering. Optimum moisture 5 to 15 percent. Wafers stored in sheds, barns, cribs, or open spaces. open-sided roofs preferred with ventilation. Removal from storage is hard but tractor-powered scoops help.
