I lay the roll out about 4-5 bales long. I leave the plastic roll laying there and carefully straddle it. So I just get off and unroll it every so often. I use a piece of #9 wire in a staple shape to anchor it down while I am stacking the row. I then do the reverse when feeding them I just roll the plastic back up. I often get several years out of the same plastic.
I make six foot diameter bales. So they cover most of the plastic so there is little water ever on them. I also have created row that I have stacked on for years. I took plows and threw up a headland for the bales to set on so the water is diverted away from under the bales. You can do the same thing with sand or gravel too. That even works better. Some coarse gravel just a few inches deep will allow the water to wick away.
I watch and only move bales out of these rows when the ground is where I do not cut ruts in the ground. So it either is dry or frozen. If I know it is heading to a wet time I set a few weeks supply up on solid ground. Cured hay in the winter will take on very little water compared to heavy spring/summer rains.
