[QUOTE="WFfarm, post: 1630158, member: 39155"] 2. I wouldn't worry about rain on the top and side of the bales. You can feel when it's dried off. Its the bottom of the bale that if left to set on the ground for a few days does not get air to breath and will draw moisture from the ground. I've seen people tip bales on end to get the circumference to dry. Faces can dry latter if stacked in a barn. P.S. I was told that hay in the field needs to be dryer for big round bales than small square bales. Some people think they can bale hay tough if they are rolling it up because it can breath out in the field. But, if you have a good dense bale, its hard to get that moisture out from the inner parts and not get heat and mold. Wet big bales in the field at least wont burn a barn down. [/QUOTE]
