[QUOTE="bandit80, post: 563283, member: 7956"] I've always wondered the same thing. I've baled some grass hay that I thought was too tough, but it never heated or molded. I've also baled alfalfa that I thought was too dry and it heated up. Sometimes we just miss. We have a hay probe, and it seems if we bale alfalfa about 16%, it will have some degree of spoilage. We were always told 18%, but that is just too wet. Grass hay seems to get real dry, sometimes 12%. Once we start in though, we really don't check the moisture. It was mowed two days ago, go bale it. It was mowed yesterday morning, go bale it this evening, etc. [/QUOTE]
