Is it bermuda? There is a problem with that in Florida, I've heard. Google 'maggots in hay', and you get an article from the U of F Extension folks.

No, it’s not bermuda. It was originally a high quality horse hay, alfalfa, I think. The constant watering for the past week is causing it to break down ... it’s getting mushy inside and hot. It gets another week of water, then a week of 46-0-0 urea, then a week of 10-10-10 before I can even think of plants.

The maggots surprised me, they’re very tiny but I only thought they fed on rotting meat ... not on decaying vegetable matter.
