When I was a kid I worked for a neighbor and we put in 20,000 or more square bales a year, stacking only around the places where you climbed up into the hay mow and threw the hay down. The barns had mow elevators across the length of them and Occasionally you would have to go up and throw hay back away from the elevator. It was fine for hay that is fed on site but not so good for selling hay . You end up with a lot of misshaped bales that are hard to stack , especially if they are a little bit loose. When I started farming for myself I rented one of those barns for a few years and I tried to stack most of the bales as I was selling the hay. Sometimes I would let a little go unstacked if it was on top and I was nearly done. Now in my pole barn I always stack all of it. If you want a sample of what the unstacked hay is like, bale a full load of hay on one of your wagons and leave it unloaded for a couple months. I am assuming you can get the loaded wagon under cover of course. I would add that stacked hay cures out better than piled hay. so if you bale hay on the heavy side that may affect your quality.
