[QUOTE="Jbonnot03, post: 1273688, member: 22745"] Back in the day(about 15 years ago) we tried some Agbag to keep hay. It was essentially a long white bag that you put the round bales in. Ours ended up all slimy and nasty because it ended up with holes all in the bag from rodents and tears. My grandpa's ended up doing a lot better because he didn't tear the bags and put up a hot wire. He also would suck all the air out of the bag with a shop vac. I think the key was to have it sealed completely. I have a friend in the East Bernard area that stacks his round bales 3 tiers high and covers with a big tarp. He has kept some hay for two years without significant damage. I am pretty sure he leaves the ends open to allow air flow. All of that to say, either seal it completely ie vaccum seal or leave the ends open. I agree with the others. [/QUOTE]
