Not sure how warm is 'warm'. I use a thermometer to monitor heating. Some heating of first cutting here is normal. Generally up to 100 they wont mold (maybe even 110, but they will be too dusty for most horse hay buyers). I don't get excited until they get over 130, then I start checking daily. At 180 they can rise to ignition temperature in a few hours. Heating is worse in a barn or if stacked. Even round bales can start a barn fire. Two of my neighbors had that happen last year. I almost had it this year. Had some rolls up in the 150's, stacked 3 high in the barn, pulled them out.
