I tried to cut and bale my first crop really early to avoid seed stems in Orchardgrass. I believe I cut in mid May. We had a nice dry week, fire warnings actually, and baled it on the 4th day after cutting. Seemed nice and crunchy on baling day. I think what happened was that all the seed heads were formed or forming and were inside all the stems still. So they had a lot of moisture that couldn't escape easily and that the moisture probe couldn't detect. After baling, all the high moisture wants to equalize in the bales still so it starts diffuse to what was dry hay. Tough lesson learned.
