I'm not sure, but it seems like they should be getting some air because straw is hollow, potentially carrying some air to the center. Though tightly packed and water saturated could make them anaerobic. | |

I believe volatilization is associated with an anaerobic process (dentirification) ... which leads to the follow-up: is it likely that the bales would get anaerobic (I was watering them today and the answer didn't seem obvious)? | |
