That is so wrong!!Another thing with that wrap....when the sneak a bunch of rebaled on you, sometimes the wrap hasn't been fully removed! I pull some of the pads apart on any new load, to check for that. Sometimes you see it sticking out on the sides. Apparently rebaling rounds to square is a "thing" now. Just make $ on that.
Ah! Ok, that makes sense.
We have done it sometimes too. Mostly it is because we ran out of square bales for a customer, and they are not equipped to handle a round bale. Sometimes we don't get enough sq bales done, and then a later cutting is on a field that is farther away so it is quicker both to bale round bales and transport them home than sq baler/wagons and all that. So for many it really is about the ease to get them off the field; it is a royal PITA to take a round bale and have to then run it though a sq baler in the barn floor... because usually it is when it is raining out or snow or something....You have handled the round bale, which is not as much as a wagon load of sq bales, but then you have to undo your work, BY HAND, and feed it into the sq baler and then handle the sq bales. Anyone that doesn't take care of the plastic is a JERK... but there are a few here and there that use a special machine that "cuts the bales into quarters" and such, and then they could get much more easily run through a sq baler... and the plastic could very well still be on the bale... which is laziness. That is poor business practices if nothing else...
I was going to ask a question but nevermind .....
Because it is too much like a sword? And shouldn't a longhorn have TWO horns?
..... because Jan answered it. I can't imagine the time it takes to rebale a round into a bunch of squares feeding the hay by hand.
