[QUOTE="Rydero, post: 1658137, member: 38101"] Did feed testing this fall and sent mine in with my employer's and we shared results. We each did some greenfeed seeded the same - he did baleage and I dried mine down. Almost identical on a DM basis - dry had slightly higher protein and baleage had slightly higher TDN. If it's the same plant cut at the same stage and put up properly it makes sense as the nutrients are a product of what the plant has in it - drying or wrapping is just the method of preserving it. Which is why I'd only wrap if the weather makes it necessary. Why haul that water and spend extra money for the same result? [/QUOTE]
