[QUOTE="Goweresque, post: 7606536, member: 818"] I've been using ProSid MI700 on my hay for over 5 years now, absolutely no problems, in fact I think its better. Though that maybe because its cheaper (about half the cost of BC last time I bought some) you tend to be a bit more liberal with the rates and thus you may get a better result. As far as I can ascertain Prosid is exactly the same active product as BC, a buffered propionic acid, the only difference being BC has some citric acid added in for smell. Its available through For Farmers. As with all hay additives they are not a replacement for plastic, they just give you a small extra band of moisture that you can bale in and still get a saleable product. Its particularly good in that iffy range where you can bale hay and it doesn't actually go mouldy, but does get dusty, which the additive will stop happening. I will happily bale up to 20% in full confidence I'll get clean dust free hay, between 20 and 25% it will discolour but still be dust free, above 25% you will start to get mouldy bits because the additive coverage will never be perfect. Also very good for being able to get on and bale a field that is largely fine, but just a few damp bits round the outside or under trees etc. [/QUOTE]
