Pulling the hay out of the stack is what saves it. Moisture moves extremely slowly in or out of a large stack but quite readily from individual bales. Moisture moves more readily out the cut ends. Once you"re more than 1 layer thick it doesn"t really matter.
A round bale is a good example, a fist size clump of wet hay in the middle generally can"t dry that out unless the rest is extremely dry.
I"ve never seen rock salt evaporate, has to get pretty darned hot for that, so it can"t spread through the bale like vapour.
Look at the acid application systems, they have to use a spray nozzle to evenly coat the hay going into the baler, it doesn"t spray the hay bales coming out the back end.
