    摘要: This invention relates to a stand for supporting hay bales above the ground. The inventive hay stand The device is formed in the shape of an rectangular prism or cuboid from an inert plastic, closed-cell, polyurethane structural foam that will not allow water or air to move through it. The devices are constructed by pouring the structural foam material into forms that are constructed to yield the desired shape. The structural foam has two chemicals that are mixed and then poured into the form. The foam then heats and rises to take on the shape of the interior of the form. Once the foam is fully cured, the forms are removed, and the device is ready for use. Hay stands constructed in accordance with the present invention are useful for protecting hay bales from spoilage due to ground moisture.
