[QUOTE="WFfarm, post: 1787902, member: 39155"] We make mostly 5x6 dry bales and we don't have a lot of barn space so 90% of our hay has to be stored outside. Wrapping like this takes a little effort, it's a two-man job, but it saves a lot of hay. I would estimate our spoilage went from 15-20% down to 5% or less. We are feeding some two year old bales recently that have no more spoilage than this summer's bales. We put 2-3 layers of the shrink wrap on, just enough so the stems don't poke thru. Not much ice build up and it easily comes off because it doesn't stick to the hay. We just put the plastic in the weekly garbage pickup. Three bale's wrap can stuff inside an empty Wind and Rain mineral bag. We figured $1.75 of wrap saves us about $8-10 worth of hay per bale. [/QUOTE]
