    Hay is flammable if you try hard enough. Had a neighbor that caught a tractor on fire next to a stack of 500 bales (large round bales, about 1400# apiece). They all burned and nobody tried to put them out, it was a hellfire.

    Hay is normally put up at about 12% moisture. Wet bales catch fire because they rot and spontaneously combust.
