An old phrase is relevant to the process, Make Hay while the Sun Shines. The process requires that the particluar grass or legume must be air dried after cutting and before baling or loose storage to prevent mold. If a shower should come through between the cutting process and the baling, the hay must be re-raked and allowed to dry out completely before baling can begin again. Excess raking reduces the value of the hay because each time that it is turned, a certain amount of the desireable leaf content is lost. If after baling, a rain-storm catches the bales in the field before protective storage is found, the bales may require individual turning and drying time before the storage process can begin again. That in turn has increased the farmer's labor cost and reduced the quality of the product. Hay that is unusable as animal feed is often used in re-forestation and soil erosion prevention projects and by landscapers as mulch. Of course most people simply call the local farm supply outlet and place an order for what they need. Most people don't even know the difference between first, second and third cutting hays, but the livestock always do. They also have better sensors to detect molds. Howevever, hunger sometimes forces them to ingest it, and illness and death can result.
