Economics Favor Covering Hay University studies show 30% of a bale is in the outer six inches, while only 25% of the bale is in the center three foot (large round bales).

Weathering losses typically exceed initial estimates. Losses and spoilage occur primarily in the top row of uncovered bale stacks. Losses can vary greatly (5-30%), depending on type of bale, size of bale, and size of haystack.           

SIMPLE SOLUTION
Exposed hay is subjected to substantial losses when stored outside. Water damage accounts for 12-20% hay loss.  Cover your hay investment with Hay Tarps from Alliance Animal Health.
