We looked at the best ways to make a good bale, from the shape of the sward to the forward speed of the baler and everything in between. We looked at differing approaches and machines for handling bales to reduce the possibility of damage to the plastic and the precious fodder inside.
The storage of bales, the height that they can be stacked and how to defend them from attack from vermin and birds is also investigated. There is also an insight into what the end user of the bale wants to see when they open up the plastic and reveal the silage inside from Aidan Brennan.
