Deere-est Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 The hay and straw dealer in Wales where I take hay has been exporting tautliner after tautliner of the stuff in any size bale he can get, to Ireland. The farm is also buying in grass silage to feed the store cattle and baked silage for the sucklers, yet they made 140acrea of pit silage and over 400 square silage and haulage bales! Also a customer of my other boss has got 2000 hay bales for us yo make to fulfill his order for Ireland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
