Hi all anyone have a ball park figure for tight 5ft round bales of Rye straw please.
Haven't baled any for years and cart remember what it's like.
Cheers

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?

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
