Been there in 1985.  100 plus round bales
Mouldy hay no good for anything.
Composting will take forever.
Best solution is mulching or a box of matches.
I would tend to agree.
Nov 5th isn't that far away.

Update. Spent all of last weekend tackling the wreckage. Ditched about 100 which were clearly past it. About 40 however were worth trying with. A dry week and an elaborate cplllectopn of pallets as drying platforms has meant we have got 40 bales into our shed
 The ditched ones we have fenced off a corner of a field and created a large compost area. The dried ones are not likely to win prizes and may prove to be too fusty to use but at least we've had a go

that's something anyway, hope the bales you've saved will be ok.

 :wave: both.  I spent the morning trying to move 6 round bales to the barn :relief: :tired: :tired: .  Contractor no longer willing to do small bales :( .  Like you, he is a mate and so we are grateful for the help.  Sorry about the hay, hope your gang are all ok.
