Sioux County, NWIA | Usually takes at least 3 days for wet stalks to dry out after shredding.
Rule of thumb for November here is that it take a week after a soaking rain for stalks to get dry enough to even think about messing with them, 2 weeks if it snows.
Check the inside of the stalks below the ear for moisture, that's were the water hides. Doesn't take much to get to 25% moisture and at that level they will heat and get cakey inside.
^Concur about baling stalks/time change. Wouldn't care if I never baled stalks again after mid November. Done too much of it on Thanksgiving day and after.
