Storage area where bales are off loaded from the trucks and transported to the helispots.
Tractor pulled bale wagons move the straw six miles uphill 12 bales at a time---that's about 7 tons.
It is put into one of several stacks at the helispot. This is 1/4 to 1/6 of the straw we need to fly depending on how the coverage goes when the bales are released from the helicopter.

That sounds very expensive to distribute by helicopter.
Yes it is---very expensive---but it stops a lot of the soil loss we are expecting in the spring.
It's a $5 1/2 million project, Looney.
