Library \ Double Hay Compression
The
double- compression technique has been in use in only the last few
years and was developed for use in export.
Much of the hay produced in Nevada is exported to the Pacific Rim,
where it is sought after for its beautiful color and sweet flavor.
A huge hydraulic press is used to squeeze a regular bale down to
half of its size, eliminating all of the air. This process is the
equivalent of vacuum packing for a hay product. This procedure keeps
the hay fresher longer and holds the leaf and robust aroma of our
Sierra Nevada grown hays.
