[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 806621, member: 7509"] Well, I purchase all of my hay and my supplier definitely prefers to netwrap vs twine because of the speed in baling. I have tried tarps and don't ever want to do that again on my windy ridge. I'm not sure I understand how you cover a 3-bale pyramid with silage wrap - or do you just mean tarp? As far as the amount of plastic used - when I cut the wrap and netting it generally comes off cleanly and I can compress both the plastic wrap and the netting from one bale into a volume about the size of a large coffee can just with my hands. If there is little of no hay stuck to it I put the coffee can size ball into a plastic trash sack and when full put it in recycling. The wrap is very thin and only about 1-1/2 wrap thickness used.
