When it comes to farm management, every decision is huge; the smallest factors can be the difference between a smooth and successful operation and a host of issues. Among these, the storage of hay and feed should be a major consideration—especially if you’re in the livestock trade—and according to the pros at Trinity Metal Buildings, hay shelters provide an excellent, cost-effective solution. These Holcomb, AL-based agricultural building construction experts contend that many operations can benefit from a hay shelter.

So why consider having a hay shelter built? There are a number of reasons:

• Preserves Hay Stock: By designating a secure, enclosed area for hay, you protect the stock from losses due to the buildup of moisture. Mold growth, for instance, will severely reduce how much hay you can use as feed, and it takes longer for wet hay to reach an optimal temperature. Having a hay shelter built will make your operation more efficient and profitable.
• Provides Emergency Animal Shelter: In addition to safe storage of hay, these structures can also be an effective short-term solution for animal or equipment sheltering. This can be helpful if you encounter a sudden storm and you don’t have the time to get the animals back to the barn. Hay shelters will add versatility to your operation, giving you extra options for logistical solutions.  
• Cost-Effective: Having a hay shelter erected is relatively inexpensive, especially when compared to more extensive construction. Furthermore, especially if you work with a dedicated team like Trinity Metal Buildings, it’s a task that’s completed quickly. This means that your operation will be able to reap the benefits of this structure without as many disruptions to workflow.
