Heres a quote out an Ag Extension Article i got from 2008. "Once hay is in a dry barn, protected from sunlight and the elements, some reports state that it will maintain its quality and remain stable for up to or more than 20 years. However there will be a loss of some vitamin content as with all long term hay storage. So feeding old hay my necessitate the supplementation of vitamins in the form of a mineral lick or block or grain mixture"
Bottom line is this (if it was me in your shoes you lucky SOB) Id take a look at it, and start pulling samples outta has many bales as i could get outside bales inside bales etc and then send them off to be analized. Shouldnt cost over $30 bucks. If the report comes back that all will need is a vitamin and mineral suppliment while feeding hay, Id tell the guy you will clean the barn out for the hay. Not bad for spending $30 bucks on a hay sample to get a coupla hundred bales free. Or the report may come back saying the hay is total trash with no feed value at all and all you are out of is $30 bucks and you can tell the guy no thanks.

The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
