once to three times to stack in barn (mow size/elevator)
once to throw down from mow
once to break open to feed
So, you have up to 7 times that one bale is handled by HAND
Round
once picked up in field to put on wagon
once off loaded in yard into barn or stack
once picked from barn/stack and put in feeder
So, you have 3 times that one bale is handled by TRACTOR
Multiply that by how many small squares are in even a 4x4 roll and you will soon find out where the IDIOT in IDIOTCUBE comes from.
Ive seen people store idiot cubes outside with no tarps`, I bet the waste on those is a lot more than a roll. (the rolls I make are covered or inside)

Why move all the bales to the side of the field when you can load and wagon/trailer direct? Park empty wagon in the middle of a "load" of bales, two bales at a time with loader/3pt spear. If you are tearing up equipment handling rolls of hay than equipment and/or operator is wrong for job.
Tarps were cheap last I checked for outside storage.

I've fed rolls out in a traditional tie stall barn, set them in the barn floor/door (tractor doesn't even need to drive inside) and unroll the bale by hand. It can be done, yes it takes a few minutes, but small price to pay when the entire rest of the process was done by machine.
