Just bailing for bedding just wondering how many per acre looking like a big crop
Last year we got around 9 squares to the acre weighing roughly 200kg (just an estimate, I can’t remember the exact weight) so about 1800kg/acre if that helps?

if buying make sure its choped or its a pig to bed with
Don’t know why people say this? We’ve used it not chopped in cattle pens and it makes a lovely bed when they’ve sorted it out
