What would be the maximum moisture content for SSB smooth brome grass hay? I was baling tonight and they kept creeping up from 15% so I quit at 18%. Those 18% did have some nice weight on them. And the strings were about high C for you music lovers.
 

I've had people tell me that they bale at 20% or below. I try to stay 15% and below for grass hay. When I've gone over 15% the hay get a musty smell and has mildew.This is rd bales on a baler running at maximum hyd pressure.
