We used to do a LOT of baleing...JD wire tie, the old "side-winder"...
It would make very tight bales, and we never stacked them higher than 5 high in the mow, and not too tight...they would usually go thru a "sweat", and even make the barn seem extra warm..
After the Sweat, we would put more on top...
Check them to see if they have mold, but I would think it would take a little longer to start the Sweat, or cure..
Usually, alfalfa will make a heavier bale, and maybe you should have loostened the tensions a little..
I would be careful of putting up hay that is baled green...it can start barn fires..!!
