[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1299103, member: 1715"] I bought a moisture tester last year and it told me what I knew- - too wet at times. I fed a few wet bales, and tried salting a few others, by putting 15 to 20 pounds of mixing salt on top of each bale. They were testing 20 to 24% moisture. The bales started to warm up but rain washed the salt in after a couple days an they seemed to stabilize. Hay is a little dark colored but not moldy. Cows don't fight for this hay but they do eat it fine. Obviously rain does not wash through an entire hay bale, and this is not something you would try with a lot of hay, but does it make sense that the salt can be conducted a long ways into a green bale?
