[QUOTE="George Monk, post: 429783, member: 3545"] I net wrap and string tie bales. I can store 168 bales under tarps and bale bonnets. Those I do in string because it costs $0.60/bale for string. The net wrap here is $210 for "end" wrap. I get about 150 bales per role. The net is better if you are going to store more than one year. If you take the time and place your strings about 3" apart there is very little difference in the FIRST year of storage. The real advantage of wrap come in the second year. (and the time advantage in the field) One thing that I did find was the wrap is much WORSE on oats hay. For some reason (could be operator error) I have a lot of egg shaped oats/clover/alfalfa hay bales. I did the second field with string and they look great. [/QUOTE]
