That baleage looks drier than I thought it would be. What was the moisture when baled roughly? This year will be our first year doing sorghum Sudan and we got a tubeline wrapper. Before this we have only done dry hay.
I know you did this a while ago. But if you leave the wrap on the bales and just pick them up it will tear clean off at the next bale. We do a few thousand bales a year. Have always done this. Makes dealing with plastic much easier
Yes the single bale wrappers do eliminate any bale to bale issues. The negative is they require more plastic and take longer. If you are wrapping a small amount of bales is single bale wrapper is the way to go, but with a large operation the extra time and plastic adds up faster than you might think. Thanks for your question.
At 5:28 Its not mold if the bale is closed tight. Its a white yeast that grows on the bale / hay. Its sticky..and clear white. Nothing to do with " mold " Ive had entire bales covered in this white yeast. Its harmless to cattle !
Certainly could be! I described it to the professor over the phone without a picture or a face to face look. Very easy to "miscommunicate" with verbal descriptions. Thanks for the comment!
I bought sum haylage a time or the 2nd time i got it they was water or juice running out of the rolls on bouttom of the load i assume it was the weight of top rolls squeezing them .. but my question is why is they the juice in thar? Cause of the pickling?? The man said they were 4 or 5 years old..wats the life on storn them?? how much you charge for net wrap?? I run a jhon deer 540
Excess juice settles to the bottom. If it has juice in the bottom of the bale it was not allowed to dry down to the optimum moisture level before it was baled.

Thanks for the input!
Have you tried those baling machines that wrap each bale individually? That would avoid the v between each bale problem.

Nice video
Thanks Scott! The smaller details seem to be what gets most folks off track.
