I was wondering how the best way to keep hay fresh. I had ordered some off the internet and they came In large garbage bags. The bags are open to get air...is this okay for the hay to stay fresh? Or does it need to be contained with a lid? Thank you .
 
It needs to be put in a cardboard box or a cotton mesh laundry bag. Some type of material that allows moisture in and out and does not sweat.
 
Keep the hay inside in a cool place away from humid rooms like bathrooms or the kitchen. Also, don't store hay in a hot area like a garage or shed. In an open bag or a cardboard box or some other container where the hay can breathe the hay should stay fresh enough for six months or so.
