The barn drying of hay ... is a process whereby partially dried herbage is dried sufficiently for storage by blowing air through it. When making hay in the field, it is in the final stages of curing - the reduction of moisture from about 35% to 25% ... that the major losses of dry matter take place through too severe handling, and damage by the weather. 3, record 1, English, - hay%20curing

Although the term "drying" is sometimes used to refer to "curing" (i.e. field drying and barn drying were documented) it is a more general term and somewhat inexact in that curing is not simply a drying process but also involves fermentation. 5, record 1, English, - hay%20curing

Le fanage naturel fait appel au soleil et au vent; il est amélioré par les opérations de retournement, d'éparpillement et d'aération. Un mauvais fanage peut entraîner jusqu'à 50 pour cent de pertes par respiration des plantes, par secouage et perte des feuilles, par lessivage et par fermentation. En coupant les plantes le matin juste après la disparition de la rosée, lorsque les stomates sont bien ouverts, la déshydratation est accélérée et les pertes par respiration sont réduites, le temps de fanage est plus court. 3, record 1, French, - fanage
