Barnrat,

Why not see if you could rent yourself a wrapper and try it out before you jump over that railing. We wrapped for probably 10 years, and bagged silage bales for a few years before that. It was a definite step forward from square bales.... The plastic cost is what really got to eating me, and then the mess of having it around. Couldn't get rid of it. Dump won't take it.... Not supposed to bury it.... and at the time it couldn't be recycled in our area. Check out all the angles first. Round bale silage has it's good points. It's also got it's bad points... but I don't think you'll see a cost saving, especially when you could easily pick up a decent used harvester for 5 or 6 grand. You'll spend that on plastic in a year or two.
For what it's worth, I wrapped about 80 bales the other day. They were all on fields far flung from home, which needed to be cleaned off in a hurry. I'm not ready to go at silage just yet, so I baled them up and wrapped them. Now I'll probably end up selling that stuff, as I don't need it anyway. So, it's got good points too.

Rod
