There are 839 5x5 silage bales in this stack. Total from 112 acres we cut mid Sept. Didn't get a finished photo when done wrapping. They cost us $43 per bale to get them inside the plastic. Happy to have the extra!

Looks that way!Did you forget the picture?
Buy 100 and more cattle on this depressed market!And here I am, running the calculator, wondering if I need to buy another 20. 'Just to be sure'.
Net, plastic, freight, (we hauled some 15 and some 20 miles), and I did $100 per hour for all tractor time. We paid $15 a bale for it standing.That's nearly 7.5 bales to the acre and big 5 x 5. That was a great crop!!
What did you calculate for the cost? Net wrap, plastic wrap, fuel, fertilizer???
I don't own any equipment except the spear on my tractor. So, my costs are pretty cut and dry. The more "per acre" the cheaper the bales, because some of my cost is by the acre (mow, rake, tedder).
