Problems of storing pasture from periods of ample growth to periods of little or no growth, whether it be in winter or a droughty summer, have always been with farming communities all over the world. Haymaking, for example, goes back to antiquity when the origin of natural drying has been lost in the mists of the past; maybe in the same way as it is often lost in the mists of today.
