Interesting. What you're saying is wet hay is a fire hazard, but dry hay is not, which is counter intuitive. I'm guessing it has to do with weight/mass. A huge, wet, heavy round of hay is more likely to create the pressure and heat necessary to start a fire than a dry, light one? I would have thought that it would be more about wet hay growing mold and fungus making it worthless for animals. This country livin' thing is interesting.
