Making bales is an effective way to preserve wet hay

Making bales is an effective way to preserve wet hay. With good management and some planning, it can produce feed of the same quality as silage placed in bags or silos. When deciding whether to use straw bales instead of hay bales, consider whether your equipment is suitable for harvesting, handling and feeding the bales. If you're not ready to use your own equipment to make bales, hiring a custom operator may be a good option. Also, consider where you will store the bales and how this will affect the feeding operation.
