Interesting thread....
Happily, I have never seen a barn go up but have seen a bay sweating like a good 'un. I suspect it's why the Dutch Barn roofs rot from underneath!
Personally, I make my hay in round bales and any "dodgy" stuff is left on the field to sweat for a week or two on the field. My neighbour pushes a steel rod into a few bales to allow him to monitor the centre of the bales.
