[QUOTE="skyhightree1, post: 1273647, member: 13268"] I got a 2014 bale from my neighbor that had about 10-12" of dark hay around the perimeter that was unuseable. With hay loosing 20-30% over a year will this cover not help preserve it? I will open the ends of it but I was trying to prevent it from getting rained on. I put the gravel on high land to keep it from sucking up water when it rains. Pease dont tell me I threw $60 down the drain. Will this tarp break it down more?. Also trying to wrap it so my cows dont tear into it.[/quote] I tried covering mine it was more of a waste of time for me than anything. I leave mine out in the open.
