Well I haven't done a lot haying for years. As a kid though I did a lot. For the small farm where two of us kids worked along with the farmer we put up 12 to 15000 bales a year. We were at it from the first of June till the end of Oct. Anyway, it may be possible to start a fire with wet hay, I wouldn't say it can't happen, however we always had some bales that because they happened to come from hay that was in the shade, had a big (mower) bar foul clump, or was in a wet or swampy patch of a field, had wet spots or were sometimes totally green and wet still. And they were twice as heavy as the dry bales. These were about 50 lbs. twine tie square bales. Those wet bales always went into the barn along with the dry ones and when they came out in the winter they were all dry mold, dusty and nasty, but dry. I don't know about if all the bales were a bit damp though, might be a different matter.
