If you're just borderline the (baled)hay will 'cure' and get sort of a tobacco smell to it which cows love. Too wet and it will literally turn to black, nasty, moldy chit. I have heard of haystacks that started to smolder from within', AKA stack burn, not good!



The stuff I was baling was dry on top but too wet on bottom of the windrow. The dry stuff might soak in the excess moisture and average out, still not something you want to try and do.
+1 on the haystack burning!
