If it were me, I'd try to get it dry, and bale it, even though hay quality is likely gone. If it was swathed, get out there with a rake after the sun's been out for awhile, and get it rolled over. If it was mowed (not in windrows already), let dry as much as its going to dry (likely stay wet underneath), then rake. Anyways, just do what it takes to bale it as dry as possible.
If you are a livestock guy, you could try to feed some this winter. See if livestock will eat it at all, or have any feed value at all. But it'll be a crap shoot. They might eat some, and they might not. But one things for sure, it's probably lost about all of its value to be marketed (sold) as hay.
Before I just sat it in a fence row to rot (if livestock won't eat it), I'd fill ditches and wash outs with it. If I didn't have any places that needed filled, I'd talk around to the local area people. I got a neighbor getting 2 big round straw bales that are a couple years old to put in a wash out that he has. He gonna give me a little bit for em, to cover the cost of rolling them up. Better than nothing.
