That will not hurt the hay AT ALL. Is it laying flat, or in a windrow? If flat let the sun dry it until 14% moisture or less, rake and bale. If in a windrow let sun dry top to 14%, then rake, dry to 14%, and bale. The only problem I have is if the bales set on wet ground for more than a day. With my Alfalfa hay I try not to rake unless I just have to. Our hay last year sold for 6.50 out of the field, and some 9:50 out of the barn later in the year. Some was as high as 14.00. This year is not going to be any better. A little bit of color bleach will not bring the protein down. We test everything.

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
