[QUOTE="chevytaHOE5674, post: 1425277, member: 19817"] I make some of it for my own use for beef cattle, yes it costs more, yes the bales are heavier, yes I have plastic to burn. Hard on equipment I will disagree if you have the right baler, and big enough loader tractors. But in our climate sometimes dry hay is hard to make and often doesn't get done until August or September, or sometimes not at all. For instance this year we have not had 3 consecutive dry days all year (15 inches of rain in May and June so far), only had one day with temps in the 80's and a handful with temps in the 70's so far this year; heck 6/10 days in the upcoming forecast have temps in the 60's for highs. By having the ability to wrap I am able to cut and wrap hay in a 2 day windows when the ground is damp and the temps are only in the 60's. [/QUOTE]
