I am not sure if you have a barn already or need a place to store your bales, but I am very pleased with the drive-thru shed I built in the edge of my hay field. It is 72 ft long, 6--12ft bays, open sided with ends closed. 12 ft high. It is 24ft wide with 1 ft overhangs making a 26ft dry space.
At the end of a long day of baling it is nice to be able to just pull the wagons in, no backing or pushing. 12 ft bays are just wide enough, very little extra room, but little wasted space. when stacking on the floor (pallets over plastic) each bay will hold about 500 bales...3000 total. Much faster and easier than putting hay in a loft, or closed barn.
I would build it the same again, with the possible exception of making it 26ft wide (trusses) with 1 ft overhangs. I don't think that would be much more expensive. Another advantage .. as the hay is used or sold, it is a great equipment storage and work area
