UP here in the wilderness 1 season is all it really keeps. By the start of the second season the coons, skunks, wolves, coyotes, bears, and various birds will have the wrap torn to shreds and the bales will be growing things of very vibrant colors that will kill animals quick. Then you have a mess or torn plastic blowing about and nasty bales to deal with.
If you have the man power to bale and wrap quick it is a good way to put up properly timed feed. For a one man operator like myself there isn't enough hours in a day to rake/bale/haul/ and wrap enough hay at any one time to be very helpful. If/when I have an extra operator or 2 then I will wrap hay if needed.
On a cost/ton basis I prefer to make as much dry hay as possible.
