Notes:
A hay drying model (HAYDMO) which predicts the moisture content of pasture hay is described. It uses multiple regression equations based on field drying experiments with conditioned and unconditioned hay and predicts hourly changes in moisture content for both day and night and also those due to rain. The model can be used with three different combinations of weather, including hourly wet and dry bulb temperatures, radiation, wind speed and rainfall. Testing HAYDMO revealed a satisfactory agreement between predicted and observed moisture contents
