The price of silage wrap has fallen by €2 per roll, an Irish Farmers Journal survey of merchants and co-ops shows.

Similarly, farmers should expect to pay slightly less for a pallet of 40 rolls of wrap, with an average price of €3,175 this year for a pallet.

However, the survey results show a large increase in the cost of plastic bale netting, with prices up by €11.50 on average per roll.
