I have feed bales that my meter said were 40% moisture. Looked just like the day they were baled nice and green. Have also feed bales that showed 18% moisture. Dusty, moldy smelly mess. All bales feed over winter and baled in July. Sometimes it doesn't make sense.

Hear that.
I have beautiful green reeds canary 25-30% moisture bales I made about 1 month ago. All bales tested numerous times for temperature. They barely heated. No "blob" look to them, either.
I dont get it.
Seems like time of year they're baled might be a factor

That's an offensively oversimplistic way of looking at it. When my dad was on the recovery table and suddenly started dying after his complaints were ignored, we had to wonder why and how they could have let this happen. And guess what, his problems weren't over because there's now 8 of us kids and his wife that no longer have a father and a dad. Ask any of us and we'll tell you it matters a lot.

But his problems are over. Yours are not. He is in a much better place than we all are. I know it's not much consolation.

I was on the operating table for 8 hours August 30, fixed my back, had brain surgery to relieve the pressure on my brain. I coded 2 times while on the table. I don't know the stress of having someone laying there though and the worries that go with it.
