[QUOTE="dun, post: 702583, member: 34"] Rather a disjointed response: Neighbor has a JD (don;t recall the number) Silage special. That thing will bale stuff that is so wet that you can squeeze water form it, clogs like crazy with really dry stuff. For baleage we make 4 1/2 bales rather then a generous 5 like we do for dry hay (cecause of the weith of the wet stuff). Plastic costs go up every year, a building for hay storage is a one shot deal other then insurance. Stacking wrapped bales doesn;t work, you end up needing a lot more space for bale storage. Being able to bale wet speeds up the baling but the wrapping addds cionsiderable time to the process. His cows (dairy) eat baleage like candy, my beef cows and his beef cows won;t touch the stuff. Persoanlly the stink of fermented sileage/baleage makes me sick, the smell permeates everything. Manure form a co eating it is a rwal maggot gagger. [/QUOTE]
