ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method and apparatus for handling and storing baled hay. Baled hay is collected on a rigid transportable pallet having a horizontal platform and means extending vertically therefrom to support a rigid roof spaced above that platform. The pallet is of a size that is readily transportable on the frame of a truck or trailer. Rectangular bales of hay are stacked to a predetermined height on the pallet. These stacked rectangular bales of hay are stored for future use on the pallet with a rigid roof supported by the support means to protect the hay from rain or snow. The pallet itself has a horizontal platform and side and end braces extending in vertical planes upwardly from the edges of the platform. One or more rigid flat roof panels are supported by the end braces in spaced parallel relationship to the platform. The surface area of the roof panels when in position covers and overhangs the surface of the platform whereby hay stacked on the platform is sheltered from rain or snow. The system and apparatus of the present invention enables farmers with handling smaller amounts of hay to readily retrieve from the field and store such bales of hay without the need of expensive machinery. The hay may be stored in such a pallet in the open, thereby avoiding the need for a barn.
