You actually leave space around every bale. If you live in an area that rains a lot you’ll have mold where the bales touch. Outside storage keep ‘em all apart in a dry area with full sun.

The cost of hay production today, both producing as well as buying it, should invent producers to put under cover right after baling. This none sense of leaving hundreds of bales of high quality, high cost hay out in the elements is plain crazy.

Why did the macerator mat maker developed in wisconsin never take off? Seems ideal to me for most hay makers in the US, I'm just surprised Deutz Fahr tried developing it further but not john deere?

The very first step should be to win the LOTTERY in order to afford all this equipment. But if you have that much money then why would want to farm?
