Wrapping Hay for Haylage

[GAM]

I was asked today, what happens if you are making haylage, and you have baled the small bales and whilst wrapping it starts to rain?
has anyone had Rain whilst bailing and wrapping small bale haylage?

You have wet haylage . The old people called it silage

Unless it's prolonged or torrential rain it would be fine.

Wet ripened grass doesn't come out the same as bales fresh grass which hasn't been dried out at all.

Yes, more times than I'd like to admit..... not normally a mega amount of rain. Last season it started spitting and there was a trailer load left and we just threw a sheet over it while it passed.
