I think you have your answer give to you in this post. It depends!! I have a Kubota Baler, and it will make a very hard tightly wrapped bale, covered with net wrap. Here in Ontario we have similar weather to you, if anything maybe a bit wetter. After a year sitting outside, a grass hay bale will only have a inch or two less than perfect hay on the outside. Naturally the bottom of the bale will have a bit more waste. Grass hay wraps very tight and makes a water resistant bale, but if you should go to Alfalfa or Clover hay, the more coarse material will let water penetrate deeper. Lots of hay is stored outside for beef cows. Most guys are just looking for mouth fulls of feed to over winter their beef cows, and not as concerned about high protein. Dairy farmers will generally take more care of feed storage as they will know the next milking if the hay wasnt so good. At least 80% of the hay in a big round stored unprotected with still be as good as baled if hay was saved and stored well.
