If the water content of stored hay, e.g. in a haystack, is too high, fungal and bacterial growth may occur.

In these processes, energy is released in the form of heat, which leads to an increase of temperature within the haystack. In the worst case, the temperature inside the hay can rise so much that the hay ignites itself.
The operator of a haystack is obliged to regularly and strictly monitor the stored hay (fire police regulation).

In an emergency, the failure to comply with this monitoring obligation can be punished as negligent arson. Furthermore, the non-compliance with the monitoring obligation can lead to the loss of insurance cover.

With the hay stack probe, the water content of the hay can be measured already before bringing the hay in into the haystack, for example on the loader wagon or in the dryer.

In general, a water content of below 14% is considered to be harmless.

That way it can already be decided before storage whether the hay has to be dried further or if the determined water content allows a safe storage.

The humimeter FLS with a probe of 2 meters length enables to easily check the moisture content as well as the temperature also in deeper regions of the haystack.By a regular and good monitoring, emerging heat spots or moisture spots can be detected and treated at an early stage.
