[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 389787, member: 5106"] My previous hay supplier switched to this method and he wanted to charge 15 dollars a bale to do our hay if we were rained out.This would be just for baling as we would cut it. I am not a fan of the plastic wrapped bales.The bales are half the size ,the moisture content is around 48% and my cows hated them.Plus I had to pay the same amount for a small round that was mostly water as I would for a large round that was put up dry.I think he saw me as a way of paying off his new equipment in a year.The other thing with the wrapped was that the feed analysis was much lower than if put up dry also all that plastic is a pain in the "you no what" to dispose of.However I have only had an experience with one supplier so maybe he didn't know quite what he was doing. This was three years ago and since fuel has almost doubled since then he probably wants 25 dolars to bale. [/QUOTE]
