i was laughing at first but those are some serious results and with bp buying the hay it would still be money going into america. I don't know all the technicalities but his water bowl is clean!!

Needs an aTm T-shirt in there somewhere to make it "Bubba Approved and Certified" ... seems like a feasible idea ... wonder what it would do to hay prices for cattle ranchers this coming winter.

you guys arent thinking right. yes great idea. but you know how much hay it would take? ALOT!!! what happens when you take farmer A's hay away? it will cause a bunch of other problems... i think
There was a Tech Professor that had done the same thing but used Cotton instead...it was on Lubbockonline.com the other day..... Guess they do teach some stuff over a old TTU after all...
Quick answer:
"Hey y'all, shucks let's use hay to soak up the oil," video like it's the ******* cure for cancer, please pull your head out of your *** and think about what you're suggesting. Adding hay to water does not make the two magically disappear. "The area of the spill now exceeds 6,000 sq. miles and more than 11 million gallons of oil are in the sea. That means that the weight of the oil in the water is just over 40,000 tons (7.29 lbs/gallon). Let's assume it takes only 2 ounces of hay per sq. ft. of oil, which seems reasonable, requiring one pound of hay per eight sq. ft. Six thousand sq. miles of oil is 172,232,755,200 square feet. That will require 21,529,094,400 pounds of hay to absorb. Note that these are billions figures. That amount of hay is 10,764,547 tons. So you're going to transport almost 11,000,000 tons of hay to sea to absorb 40,000 tons of oil. Then, after the hay has absorbed the oil, the oil is still in the water. Only instead of having to deal with (a mere) 40,000 tons of oil alone, you've got to scoop up 10,804,619 tons of oil-sodden hay
