 Err, is it just me, or is there no mention of a heat source in this

 Is the hay supposed to spontaneously combust? ;) In that case, wouldn't nice,
 dusty grain be better? ;)

The author fails to tell you it should be freshly cut, green hay.  As it
cures, good quality, high protein hay produces a good deal of heat.  That's
why most farmers know to allow it to sit and dry for a day or two before
baling it.  Many a haybarn has been lost from too much green hay.
