Thumb of Michigan
HERE below 16% moisture. do a microwave or Koster test not a handheld meter. IF you are not going to wrap. As a starting point check the windrow humidity, I'd say below ~65% might get you in the ballpark of below 16%. IF you bale at this moisture DO NOT stack for a couple of weeks, until sweat period is over.

If you do microwave test, I suggest that you DO NOT use your better half's equipment. I'll try attaching microwave instructions.
