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
