[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 39684"] Everyone who bales hay should have a hay moisture probe. They cost $150 (? been awhile) and shows the temp and moisture %. Your hay bales should be less than 16% or so. I check/test the bales every day when I first start baling to get an idea of the curing, once I'm satisfied I bale for the rest of the day. I don't have any alfalfa so can't say on that. Let the bales go through their sweat before moving them, a couple days or so depending on weather. I'm pretty good at estimating with my hands but I still use the tester to be sure; I use it religiously. [/QUOTE]
