    No problem.

    The drying will reduce the nitrogen. It'll be 100%

    Might be wrong, but I always thought, excess nitrogen in baled hay, COULD, lead to spontaneous combustion, when stacked in a shed.

    Out look is good for the week. Why not hold of a few more days and keep reducing the chance of damage.

    assuming you put on two bags per A/C at 27% CAN it would take 27 days to leave the grass. If its five weeks it should be good enough.
