    We have been ringing around and no takers. Seems an awful waste.

    Chop and spread.
    If you sell it as bedding for livestock and it’s not under 14%moisture, it could be poisonous to animals that eat it.
    Thus, chop and spread.

    Used it last year for bedding. Great soakage.
    Stock ate a little of it with no consequences
