On Thursday of this week, Sun South John Deere hosted a Hay Equipment Demo Day at the UF/IFAS Marianna Beef Research Unit.  Participants at the event got to see a new product called B-Wrap demonstrated.  This week’s featured video was produced by Tama Farm Grown Solutions to introduce their partnership with John Deere for this innovative product to protect round bale hay that is stored outside.  B-Wrap was developed for use in John Deere round balers.  B-Wrap is net wrap that includes a polymer plastic to protect hay from rain, sun, and ground moisture that degrade the outer surface of round bales, yet allows moisture from the bales to escape or “breath.”  According to Tama, hay producers can produce “barn-quality hay without the barn.”  If you store your hay outside, you should check out the video about this innovative product.
