If you have good quality hay it is not so bad for it to get too dry but it you have short, poor quality hay , letting it get too dry can make it close to worthless. This year in my area we are in a severe drought. My second cutting hay was short and had a lot of trash in it but I decided to cut it anyway because there is such a hay shortage. I would mow hay everyday from 10 AM to 12 noon. With no tettering, if I did not get started baleing by 12:00 noon the next day it would be so dry and brittle it would not pack in a square bale and looked like crap. If I timed it right and baled with moisture left in it , it baled out some really nice looking 50 to 60 lb. bales that still had a green color. I am selling them for $5.00 to $6.00 per bale and my customers say their horses don't leave a straw. The secret to putting up good hay is not getting it rained on and baleing at the right moisture level.
