Green Hay vs Dry Hay

One of my kids went to a horse camp for a week - learning to ride a horse, lots of fun - EXPENSIVE!!!!!! LOL!

Of course when we went to see the final day/closing show - afterwards, I met the owner and we talked and looked at square bales of hay.

All of owner's hay was dusty. All of it was nice and "green" in color and much of it was over ripe stems and seed heads. It was bought from a local brand name feed store and was $7 per bale!

I am very leary of green hay! I see green and think mold, but apparently the horse owner wants green hay.

How do you folks manage "green" hay and no dust or mold in the same square bale?

Thanks!
Bill
