And now it’s time for Trivia Tuesday, so pop your thinking caps on and teachers dial 1420 when you have heard the entire question and your class has an answer:
Question: What item harvested from a farm is more likely to spontaneously combust when it is wet, than when it is dry?
Answer: Hay bales.
Class: Miller.
Note: Moist or poorly dried hay can spontaneously combust due to internal heat generated by respiration and oxidation, a risk that is greatest in the first few weeks after baling. The primary cause is moisture trapped within the hay bales, which encourages microbial and chemical activity, increasing the temperature to the point of ignition.
Have a marvelous Monday everybody!
