Time in and of itself means nothing as far as curing. Heat, wind, sunlight, relative humidity, and ground moisture all affect curing. Small squares are actually pretty forgiving of going in a little damp. Its easy to adjust the bulk density of the hay bale with a small square, we loosen the cranks on the back and can judge to a degree by the weight of the bale when its right to where it will keep. With round bales its a lot harder. The bulk density of the bale is higher in rounds than in small squares, and the mass of the bale is larger so heat and moisture have further to go to escape. Big squares have even higher bulk densities. Use the rule of 2's if you are storing inside. Rounds need to be 2 pct lower in moisture than small squares, big squares need to be 2 pct lower than rounds. Thats why we dont see big squares around here much. For us thats means getting hay down below 15 percent in the field.
