American Farmers Fight Rise In Hay Thefts

Legends/lies nevertheless.

Well done. Pity you never read it properly.

Though it's called "haywrap" it is for silage as it says further down.

Quote Bring the silage bales in with your regular bale mover and place them in a tight row. Spear the bales with the HayWrap machine, apply plastic (4 layers ). Place in the storage row with the HayWrap machine and RAM them very tightly together. This will expel any air and form a super tight seal. unquote

Usual standard of illiteracy I see.

So he's going out to spend $60,000 on a tractor to steal a $60 bale of hay? Or even $20,000 used? Right. You must have pretty dozy crooks over there.

The only thing silage and hay need have in common is they are both animal feed and both might be made of grass.

[harry]

Picture of one?

en exposed to the weather. Only the "rich" farmers have wrappers.

ix the good in with the bad and feed to the livestock anyway.

How exactly do you grind up hay? Animals won't eat rotten hay.

[harry]

Straw and hay are not the same thing.

Perhaps you should have looked more closely. The thatched fifty year roofs are made using reeds which being a water plant are rot resistant.

Straw lasts for much less time. Hay would not last a year

[harry]

And did you make big bales on your 250 acre farm? They are an entirely different beast.

More likely they'll steal the machines, just like the steal the hay They're thieves after all, you stupid limey

Very good harry At least you have demonstrated that you actually know a factoid

Must be sad to need to be bitch-slapped the way you do.

Nah Only the ones who consider the cost of buying the wrapper worthwile

# How exactly do you grind up hay? #

With a hay grinder, you ignorant twit

# # Animals won't eat rotten hay. #

And ? Animals are quite capable of cherry-picking what they eat.

One purpose of grinding is to prevent them from cherry picking. Not to feed rotten hay

Obviously legitimate. The point is where would crooks get access to machinery to handle a bale like this?

Same place anyone else would With the added advantage that they could steal that too.

You make it sound like bale handling requires some exotic equipment. Farmers steal for one thing. The brother of one of my high school classmates turned out to be a crook. He spent a couple years in prison if I remember right. A skid loader with boom forks would load a bale into a pickup. I've seen home made versions of the towable bale hauler I linked to a couple days ago. Rental places have equipment that would load bales. Construction crews have equipment that would load bales. This equipment isn't anything special in rural areas. It used to be that tractor keys would fit a particular tractor series. The 94 series of the old Case brand tractors would all use the same key for example. A thief could use the farmer's own equipment to load their loot. Ebay has keys for sale. One could walk into a tractor dealership and buy one. The guys who haul hay could steal a couple extra bales and mix them in with their legitimate load. Alfalfa is going for over $200 per ton. Corn stover is going for over $70/ton. Prices are FOB, freight on buyer. Link here:

Not only are you stupid but you're a stupid liar. Of course everyone knows this by now.
