Hay producers are finding that making the switch from twine or other netwrap for round balers to Vermeer^® Net is making a difference in the quality of hay they’re putting up. Hear from two producers who run very different operations but both see big benefits from using Vermeer Net. See what they had to say.

Learn how bale netwrap helps sustain the quality of dry hay.

The Wise family started using netwrap for round bales to help solve storage and labor challenges they faced in raising their growing herd of 250 beef cattle, show steers and heifers. Pairing Vermeer Net with bale wrap film enabled them to better protect their hay and sustain its quality over longer periods of time when stored outdoors. This pairing also helped them streamline labor resources and save time because they could use the same process and hay tools for both wet and dry hay.

While it’s impossible to prevent all hay loss from spoilage, wrapping first with Vermeer Net and then wrapping in bale wrap film — whether it be dry or wet hay — helps cut down on hay loss and prevents bleaching damage from the sun. Adam Wise said the quality and quantity improvements are easily noticed. Learn more about how his operation benefits from wrapping hay.
