Large square bales (600 – 1,200 pound bales) - 14 - 16 percent moisture; large round bales (500 – 1,200 pound bales) - 15 - 19 percent moisture; large square bales are more densely packed than other bale types and do not allow moisture and heat to escape as easily, thus the hay must be drier in those packages.

Newer twine products such as solar-degradable twine combine the advantages of both sisal and synthetics with a longer storage life before decomposition occurs.
Although bale temperatures usually decrease after two weeks, in moist hay they can reach over 150 degrees, causing excessive heat damage and even the risk of fire. It is important to remember that while moldy hay and heat damaged hay often go together, fungi alone cause little heat damage.
