I've got a friend who baled about 300 bales yesterday, mostly brome, and due to a late breakdown wasn't able to get them picked up. Problem is it's raining today, not real hard, but steady. I thought maybe he could just let them sit a day or two to let them dry, flipping them over if necessary, and then breaking a few open to see if they've dried enough. Will this work, or is there a better way? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

John51 is right on. And teepee them so that the cut side faces the wind - well 2 of the 3!

If it was less than an inch of rain, if the weather turns ok they'll dry out and you can save them. If it was more than an inch, best bet is to forget about storing them and just dump them somewhere off the field.

If they did get too much rain they'll still be saleable for people fixing up their lawns, etc, or garden mulch if anyone wants to fool with putting them by the road. If you only sell a few you can get the twine money back at least.

Try standing them on end. Usually it takes three bales together so they support each other. Then pray for sunny, windy weather.
