Moisture breeds mold. And, as many farmers know, too much moisture on the ground or in storage facilities can be a serious threat to their livelihood. Crops and other farming staples such as hay or feed can literally be destroyed by mold growth. Could this be a job for plastic pallets? A farmer in Florida thought so...
This particular farmer was searching for something to keep his rolls of hay up off the ground after they had been baled. He contacted Nelson Company to ask about solving his issue of mold with plastic pallets. Since plastic does not allow water absorption or the growth of bacteria we thought it was worth a try. We even saved the farmer money by suggesting used plastic pallets.
Did it work? You betcha! The farmer laid the plastic pallets out on the ground side-by-side to create a large platform. The platform kept the bottom of the hay rolls up off of the ground and dry.
The used plastic pallets worked so well for the farmer that so far he has ordered twice from Nelson Company!
