being released at the start of the next wrapcycle, the un-detached end of film is lifting allof the wraps of the film on the side of thebale, creating a very easy channel for air toenter the bale. This is allowing air right intothe centre of the bale. If the bale is from afixed chamber machine producing softer centrebales, it will have an even more dramaticeffect, trapping air in the part of the balewhere there is possibly more air anyway,producing the perfect situation for mouldformation and considerable spoilage to thebale.

Other areas needing remedial action centrearound the pre-stretch unit rollers, and their

associated workings. Once again, all aspectsshould be considered, even though they mayseem very obvious. How many machines arerolled out of the shed without the rollers evenhaving the residue of last season’s tack buildup on the rollers cleaned off ?

This is a very easy task, which does have adramatic effect on the efficiency of yourwrapping job and the subsequent safety ofthe bales, yet is so often over-looked, eitherby causing film over-stretch or tack build upattracting dirt and crop debris to stick to rollers,damaging the film passing over them.Aluminuim rollers should be washed withwhite spirit, or other similar solvent based

cleaners, to remove all traces of film tack,leaving the surface clean and not sticky to thetouch.

Finally, check that the gearing for the rollersare free and operating correctly, ensure nodirt is present in the gearbox which mightrestrict free movement and that gear-boxcasings are not damaged.

On the few wet days that are sure to happenbetween now and start of silaging, take anhour to look over the baler and wrapper, itcould save you many more in season.

Farming is a huge industry in the UK andIreland and crop packaging is a significantcost within this industry. Consider this, makingover 10,000 bales per year means in a threeyear period you could have spent over £40,000on film, netwrap and twine, quite possibly, inthat same time period, much more than themachines on which it is all used ! It is for thisreason that the Crop Packaging Associationcould be so important to you, the only forumdedicated to this important, and costly, partof your business.

Industry news; market influences and pricepredictions; product reports; manufacturerdetails and insights, the list goes on, but whatmore can the Crop Packaging Association dofor you ? This is your thing and we would liketo know what you think. In recent issues wehave outlined moves within the industry onfarm waste disposal and highlighted potentialsolutions.

What do you do with your farm waste, nowthat the need to dispose of it has beenaddressed, identified and decreed ?

How do the subjects of more waste plastic onfarm sit alongside the sure knowledge that 6layers of film on a bale make a substantiallybetter bale that one wrapped with 4 layers?Does the increased value of the bale, offeringhigher potential feed value (with all of theassociated benefits that brings) mean morethan a slight increase in farm waste – thatnow needs to be disposed of officially anyway?

Some manufacturers are doing something totry and reduce waste plastic, witness the extralong, 4000m rolls that Tama are nowdeveloping. With netwrap rolls that are 33%longer than the old, original 3000m, meansfewer rolls needed to make the same numberof bales – fewer rolls means less core andpackaging, less pallets to move and store; a

small point perhaps but it is a move in theright direction.

The Crop Packaging Association provideinformation in this regular newsletter format,but also have a fully inter-active websitethat has its own ‘chat room’ ’www.croppackaging.com/agrichat specificallyfor baling and wrapping contractors andfarmers – Agri Chat, as mentioned elsewherein this newsletter.

It is seven years since the Crop Packaging Association was formed. The free subscriptionassociation brings together all aspects of crop packaging – producers of the products,the manufacturers of the balers and wrappers and, most importantly, the valuable endusers of all of these. The Crop Packaging Association finally provided a forum for all ofthese important ‘ingredients’ in this very significant business, to communicate and shareinformation, to learn from one another and communicate more clearly on a subject thatis very important, and of immense value, to all of us.

can trap stones, which will damage the netroll when it is turning in the net box duringuse.

The most numerous problems encounteredwith any net, on any baler, are usually netwrapping on feed rollers or not spreading fullwidth on the bale. These situations are botha result of poor net tension, which will notallow the net to spread fully (as it requiresuniform and full tension to spread) and alsorisk a poor and inconsistent cut of the net atthe end of the wrap cycle, as the net is nottaught when the knife cuts it, in effect the netis still moving when the knife comes in. Thiscreates a very ragged cut of net, leaving longtails that can wrap on feed rollers, pull the netin any direction when next feeding (meaningun-even bale coverage) or possibly pull thestitch out leaving a split in the net as it goesto the bale.

It is essential; therefore, that the net tensionand brake system is examined and checked,to ensure that it is working as it should.Different manufacturers employ differentmethods to apply tension to the net, to achieve

optimum tension for spreading and correctcutting. There are three basic methods fortensioning the net,: 1) against the net roll(such as on Claas, McHale and older NewHolland); 2) against the inner core (as onKrone, Welger, Vicon and New Holland BR)or 3) with the feed rollers (John Deere). Typicalchecks for these systems would be as follows:-1) Check tension spring setting and, for theClaas system, it may be necessary, whenstarting with a new roll to run without the brakebar for the first 40-50 bales to avoid over-tensioning the net.

2) Check the inner core of the net roll is notdamaged or water-logged, otherwise themechanism cannot fully grip the turning roll.On the Welger, it may be necessary to make

a fine adjustment to the brake setting, whilsta check on the Krone and Vicon would be thatthe brake pad is not worn and sitting correctly,for instance.

3) Ensure that the feed rollers are correctlyaligned and gripping the net evenly across theirfull width. This can be checked simply by rollinga sheet of paper between the rollers, at variousplaces across their width, and comparing thetension required to pull it out.

These different methods all operate in differentways, they are all designed to achieve thesame thing and should be clearly understoodand correctly set before the season starts toavoid troubles further down the line.

In many ways, the job of wrapping silage balesis, probably, the most important of the entirebaled silage process, as a whole year’s hardwork; sowing, fertilizing, rolling, mowing andbaling can all be wasted by poor preparationand careless operation of the bale wrapper.It might seem that important a point to make,but often the biggest losses to valuable silageare not apparent at all during the wrappingtime and only become evident when feedingout, long after the mis-hap occurred and waytoo late to try ant put right. Instead, somecareful thought and common sense shouldbe applied now, whilst you have time to thinkclearly – before all hell lets loose in a fewweeks!

Probably the greatest saving can come fromcareful and more considerate bale wrapping,where applying the 6 layers of film is still aproblem area for some. The extra cost is

small, around 50p/bale to add 2 more filmlayers to the bale; however, this extraapplication will almost certainly guarantee aperfect bale, easily worth more than the smallamount of extra cost to wrap it. Apart fromthis obvious detail, there are still a number ofbasic points to consider and check on thewrapper.

Very often, long tails on bales are suspectedas being a result of alleged poor tack in thefilm, when in reality they are more likely acaused by the film not being cut fully whenthe bale is ejected, the film actually beingsnapped as the bale falls off the wrapper. Thishas the effect of over stretching the film tail,making it impossible to then snap back andstick to the bale surface, as the film is nowso long and almost like plastic rope. The windthen does its best to make sure this tailbecomes even longer, unwinding from the

bale as far as it can, opening the bale up tothe elements and risk from the, now, fewerlayers of fi lm attached to the bale.

A very easy clue that something is a-miss canbe seen during wrapping, if the film has notdetached from the cut/catch mechanism. Notonly does this highlight a possible problem atthe time of cutting, but as the film is stillattached it is creating a far more seriousproblem for your valuable silage bale. By not

There is no getting away from the fact thatthe past 2 years have seen a real trend developin round bale netwrap towards the use oflonger length rolls.

First introduced by trend-setting netwrapinnovator Tama Plastic Industry, the move fora longer net roll is now well established and,if popularity and demand are anything to goby, is long overdue. A number of otherproducers are now following Tama’s lead, suchis the move towards longer lengths, and thosemanufacturers whose production techniquescannot achieve the advances required forthese products may be left behind, as themarket moves away from standard 3000mnet.

So, what benefits have been shown?The sales arguments for a longer product areobvious and easy to understand, with fewerrolls required to achieve the same number ofbales – it’s no different to most consumableswe can buy in bulk; in fact we do this with somany things around the farm already.

The biggest advantage available is from Tama’sPro-Tec 3600m net, giving a fantastic 20%more net in the roll than the old standard3000m length many still insist on supplying.20% might not sound that much, but lookedat in terms of savings in physical handling ofnet rolls throughout the busy days of the

season and it soon becomes obvious that fourroll changes, instead of 5 every 1,500 balesor so, soon adds up in a good year. .

As outlined in the last Crop PackagingAssociation newsletter, Tama Plastic Industryare pushing ahead with even greaterdevelopments in netwrap technology, with theaim of providing an even more significantbenefit to the end user; that of greaterefficiency and output from the baler – as wellas their well known and renowned Edge toEdge bale coverage.

During 2006, parts of the UK, Ireland, Franceand Germany were involved in a volume trialof Tama’s new longest ever net, which hadover 1,000m more than standard 3,000mwhite net. A cross-section of end usersinvolved in the volume trial of the 4,000mnetwrap were invited to partake in a survey,giving their experiences of using the newnetwrap, through the completion of a detailedquestionnaire form.

Questions asked highlighted such points asthe end users’ experience and opinion of balecoverage, net strength, comparison to existingTamaNet and also to other nets available onthe market. Answers were graded on a scoreof 1 – 5 (where 1 was rated as being verybad and 5 very good). Upon completion of thesurvey, the results were collated and showed,very interestingly, that the most importantpoint for end users of the new netwrap wasits consistency and reliability, which scored4.5/5. Participants in the survey were alsoasked to rate the strength of the new netcompared to other makes of net and respondedwith a resoundingly positive score of 4.3/5,which ranked equal second highest score,alongside their satisfaction of the net's overallperformance.

That consistency and reliability scored highestclearly shows that serious netwrap users areextremely keen to reduce any wasteful and

What is the true cost of making a good silagebale ? There is the easy calculation of balingand wrapping costs, time for the job andmaterials used, but what about the countlesshours tending to the grass in season, fertilizing,rolling, mowing, then there is the carting andstacking of the bales. All in all, quite aconsiderable expense surrounds the makingof good silage bales, which have an immensevalue either in the depths of a long winter oras we saw clearly last summer, when thegrass is so scarce that every bale is worthmaking. Why, then, does so much of thisvaluable and costly commodity often get putat such risk and peril every year, unless forevery customer of silage bales there is an‘acceptable’ loss ratio for all of the hard workand expense each year ? I think not !

Silage bales are now recognised and acceptedas the most cost effective way of conservingfodder for cattle feed. Baled silage has a valueas a sealable commodity, due to itsconvenience and transportability. That is, if itis actually worth something. Every stretchfilmproducer and distributor will tell you theirnumber one complaint, every year, is relatedto film damage from birds and vermin. Filmis a mightily useful product when used correctlyto preserve cut grass, but is one of the mostdifficult things to protect once on the bale,unless it is cared for in the right way.

Even with 6 film layers applied to a bale, thefilm is still not impervious to bird and animal

activity on it. Bales are an easy andcomfortable refuge for cats, foxes and evenrabbits, especially when warmed by the sun,providing a restful and warm place to rest.Climbing up there and moving around on thebale does untold damage to the bale’s surface,holing the nicely wrapped bale and leavingthe film surface like a pin cushion. Smallholes they may be, but it will come as a shockto many of you to learn just how much cropcan be lost from bales holed in this way. Theproblem is worsened with higher dry matterbales, which are of more value to some. Thedrier material being harder to compress whenbaling, so with more air within the bale,potential spoilage may be greater in thesebales.

Birds are even less forgiving, not only do theywander all over, probably, every top bale theycan find, but they are also prone to pullingthe crop, and even netwrap, out from the balemaking their already annoying damage evengreater. It is clearly understood that wrappingat the stack reduces the opportunity of birdsto settle on every bale wrapped and left for awhile in a field, however, the eventual stack

is still vulnerable when the job is done. Stackinground bales on end can go a along way toreducing the potential damage, as the baleends are covered with many more layers thanthe sides, but they are still at risk, unless somesensible protection is sought to eliminatealmost entirely the worry of bird and animaldamage, in the form of application of a finewoven protection net.

This handy and inexpensive addition to yourseason’s purchasing will pay for itself manytimes over, with the smallest size available(8m x 25m) being capable of covering andprotecting up to 160 bales at least, other sizesup to 50m in length are also available andcan be re-used year after year with carefulhandling. The net should be suspended ontop of the stack by tyres or sand bags, andheld in place by the same on top and at thesides. It is important that the net is suspendedin this way, and not simply laid directly on thestack, as the shimmering movement of thenet suspended above the stack deters birdsfrom settling on the net.If even as much as 10% of each top bale islost, that’s still the same as wasting one inevery ten bales you toiled hard to make, and

In this second edition of the Crop PackagingAssociation newsletter of 2007, we will try todevote a little more time to technical issuesthat are very relevant at this time of year.Preparation of the baler and wrapper andtrying to pre-empt problems that result fromcertain in-actions this time of year, when themachine is still stationary in the shed.

After many months of inactivity, there will beparts of the baler that will have a negativeimpact on the net if they are not inspectedand made right, should they need to be. It isall too easy to think that the machine wasworking alright last season, but it is now manythousand bales older than this time last yearand has not been used for a while.

The most common problem encounteredduring first cut silage work is the frustration

of bales bursting after they come out of thebaler. This problem has been covered beforeand results from the bale not being ejectedquick enough from the baler and becomingjammed in the chamber, whilst the rollers arestill spinning against the bale, as a result ofthe chamber walls having rusted up over thewinter. This action will eventually scuff thebale enough to begin breaking one or two ofthe net threads on the bale, eventually leadingto a broken bale when it finally leaves thebaler. This problem can usually be overcomeby dis-engaging the PTO but will, in any event,clear itself once the bale chamber walls haveshined up.

Close and careful inspection should be madeto all parts of the baler that the net is in directcontact with, as anything rusted, damaged or

dirty will damage the delicate threads of thenet, leading to problems. Delicate is the rightterm to user, as the fine threads can easily

be snagged andtear. Remember, thenet is designed tohave strength in‘machine direction’,that is linear, as theexplosive energy ofa bale works againstthe net in thisdirection. Netwrapdoes not have as t r e n g t h i n‘ t r a n s v e r s edirection’, that is

across its width, so any damage to the delicatezig-zag threads will create a ‘hole’ in the net,which can, and will, easily expand very rapidlywhen under pressure around the bale. If yourbaler has a metal brake bar that sits directlyagainst the net roll, this will have been wornto bare metal from the previous season’s work,so rust could have formed over the winter.This is a prime area for damage to the net atthe start of the new season. Also, spend sometime cleaning out the net box, as dust andcrop debris that has collected over the season

rusty net roll brake bar will damage net

damage to net roll from stones in net boxis spending a small amount on protectionnot worth this risk

the losses to a bale damaged by birds oranimals can soon add up

potentially expensive down-time, so a net thatcan give this is surely a benefit. Added to this,the ability to have a longer length roll, with1,000m more netwrap than standard white3000m net, the time and cost savings arefurther enhanced, by a considerable amount.Round bale netwrap has been with us foralmost 20 years now and it is worth consideringthat many, indeed, most manufacturers havedone little or nothing to develop the productin that time. Netwrap was designed with animportant purpose – namely to speed up the

round baling operation and provide betterprotection for the bale than baler twine could.

In continuing to produce and promote theoriginal roll length of 3,000m, with net thatcontinually fails to cover the bale fully, othernetwrap manufacturers have shown that they,perhaps, are not interested in their customers’true needs. Tama, by comparison, have shown,once again, that through innovation andtechnology advances the needs of the enduser are paramount in their and your success.

The foreign imported 2,500m net did notreally help, with only 223 bales per roll,compared to 368 with the 4000m net. The2,500m roll was not that much lighter thanthe 4000m roll and was over one third shorter,meaning more roll changes, especially whenbaling all day when it can become time

consuming and tiresome. In silage, with thewrapper close behind the baler, I can achieveup to 450 bales from a roll of the Tama 4000m,making 4’ bales, and can still around 350bales from a roll when baling straw, in amixture of 4’, 5’ and 6’ bales”.

Agricultural contracting is well established inthe UK, especially crop packaging businesses,unlike parts of Europe, where traditionalfarming is still predominant. Many larger scalecontractors in the UK are now solely in thebusiness of providing a service for others,though the majority of baling and wrappingcontractors continue to farm and run theircontracting business alongside their ownfarming, providing wider income opportunities.

John Henry Troop, of Barnby near Newark inNottinghamshire, is a perfect example a variedagri-business, running a 220 acre farm with100 head of beef cattle alongside a successfuland very busy contracting business. Drillingand mowing over 500 acres a year, as wellas baling up to 10,000 round bales eachseason keeps John busy, though he leavesthe wrapping of silage bales to a neighbour,with whom he often works ‘in tandem’, whilsthis own combine needs are handled by anotherneighbour on a normal commercial

arrangement.

“Round baling has become a very busy partof my life, once the season begins”, easilyhandled by the Welger RP520 that Johnpresently operates, of which he is enthusiasticof its capacity, speed and ability to producegood bales. “I started off round baling in 1987with an old Massey Fergusson belt baler, witha twine tying system, which was so slow. Thiswas soon changed to a much more capableJohn Deere 550, with a netwrap system that

speeded things up enormously, making 35bales per hour compared to only 20 in anhour with the twine”. Making up to 10,000bales a year needs a pallet of netwrap at least,so John is enthusiastic of the longer lengthrolls that are now available on the market,especially the Edge to Edge 4000m. “I havetried many types of net over the years andprefer the longer rolls as this means lesschanging rolls in the day” says John. “Lastsummer I tried a roll or two of 2,500m net

pay for is someone else did the job for you.Thought of in that way, the prospect starts toseem frightening and a rather expensive folly.Why not use a protective net on your bales ?It is a simple question and one that cannotreally have anything to do with the cost toyour business. Think of it, is the cost of 2 or3 silage protection nets really going to makethe difference between profit and loss foryou…? 50 or 60 lost bales, or the equivalentof, is another matter, however, and one thatwill begin to have an effect on your bottomline. Why not offer this as part of your balewrapping and stacking service, and see thedifference it can make from one year to anotheras losses reduce.

Let’s do some quick reckoning. A roll of m8x25 of Novatex Silage Net covers at least

160 bales (with the 3 layers arrangement):the value, in terms of forage, can amount to£3,000. Leaving the bales unprotected, raisesthe probability that a certain number will bedamaged. The investment in a protection mightadd a few pennies to a bale, but this is farbetter than losses that could be counted inpound per bale if not used. Novatex SilageNets are completely UV resistant, thus retaining

their efficiency for at least 3 years and canbe used many times over, keeping its protectiveability constant.

The exclusive Silage Net is made up of closeand compact mesh which is the outcome ofaccurate studies carried out by Novatextechnical staff aiming at maximum protectionwith minimum cost.

square bales are at even more risk as anydamage will be exaggerated from standingwater on the bales afterwards
