[QUOTE="chevytaHOE5674, post: 1266931, member: 19817"] Never tested anybody else's hay but I test all of my own with the microwave method before baling. I try to bale at or below 15% moisture. Made 40 some bales last weekend that tested at 14% moisture about an hour before I started baling so I'm sure by the time I got it rolled up it was down closer to 12~13%. I've never had any of my hay mold, and when I sell hay the customers like knowing what it was baled at. My neighbor and I both mowed some hay thursday morning, and he small square baled his last night. I went to the field and checked my side of the fence because I was curious and it was at 28% moisture....... [/QUOTE]
