Has anyone tested different hay, one that was cut and it got rained on, or the other that was ripe waiting for the rain to quit?
 
Hay that is cut in its prime then rained on [once] then dried, is better then overly mature had put up without rain. However the second/third rain on prime hay will pretty much make it worthless. So if the rain is persistent let it stand. We haven't had to worry about rain damage up here for the last 4 years. :cry:
 
hay that hasnt started curing when it gets rained on is still good hay less it gets a flood on it.so its really a toss up as to how good rained on hay is.if its down for 3 weeks its junk hay.
 
Better to have hay cut and getting rained on that standing and growing well past maturity. Now if it gets rained on for a week while laying on the ground before baling I'd probalby windrow it and set it on fire.
