Baleage involves wrapping a high moisture forage bale in plastic. This podcast discusses keys to making high quality baleage, including forage maturity, moisture content at baling, bale density, timing of wrapping and number of layers of plastic wrap to use. Depending upon the conditions, a baleage production system could reduce the time between mowing and baling by one-third to fifty percent compared to a dry hay system.
