How much plastic wrap do I put on each bale for baleage?

During the second session of this past winter’s Ohio Beef Cattle Management School, one focus of the evening was effectively utilizing plastic wrap for fermenting baled forages and making baleage. In the 5 minute excerpt of that evening’s presentation, Jason Hartschuh answers the question, “How much plastic wrap do I put on each bale for baleage?”

In the entirety of the presentation, Hartschuh discussed harvest options, correct harvest moisture, and properly baling and wrapping wet forages. You can find that entire presentation, “The Do’s and Don’ts of Making High Quality Baleage” embedded below.
