Internal temperatures of 110 F in the first five days after baling are quite common in our region and are not a concern. Hay bale temperatures of 120 to 130 F will likely result in mold growth and will make the protein in the hay less available to the animals. But at those temperatures, there still is not a danger of fire. The concern is if mold growth causes the temperature to go even higher.
You cannot reliably control mold and mildew growth using only the air conditioning (cooling) system. To prevent mold and mildew growth the indoor RH (relative humidity) should not exceed 55%. In hot weather the air conditioning system does this fairly well. A temperature of 78 degrees Fahrenheit or greater is recommended. 2  Set the thermostat to the âcoolâ mode and not the âautoâ mode (auto / heat / cool). 3  Set the fan mode of operation to the âautoâ mode not the âonâ (continuous) mode. 4  Do not try to control mold by lowering the thermostat setting as this will not work.
