I am looking for a non-toxic once dried and relatively inexpensive
material to seal wood.
A neighbour is a farmer who has hay/feed wagons that have bottoms made
of 2X6 planks. Wet feed often sits for long periods on the wood with the
expected results. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to protect the
wood and not poison the cows? Thanks,

Paint comes to mind?
Providing drainage holes, not over-feeding and cleaning out the bunks is
far more effective and cheaper...

How 'bout if the feed is wet? Does that count?
Of course no animal is likely to suffer, but it's a fool's errand to try and
treat a wagon bed. That's why they've gone bare these many thousands of
years since agriculture became a way of life.
Thanks fellows. I'll pass on your comments. JG

Why not replace the planking with the composite (plastic) that is used
on decks. I is water proof, won't rot and is non-toxic
