Loaded question with a lot of different right answers, depending on the circumstances of this hay this time and where you are.

If there is stem moisture, then only 13%. Very hard to get an accurate reading if there is stem moisture though.

If the hay is fully cured, and you are not trying to get dairy quality or horse quality hay, you can get up into the 20s at times and get away with it. The time of year and low temperatures will help.

Moisture in the hay should be at its lowest sometime between 2 and 4 PM in the afternoon. We end up day bailing like that here this time of year.
