So you got your square baler rigged with some kind of buffered acid or Hayguard type preservative and you are baling at say - 25% moisture.
With or without the preservative, the high moisture square bales are going to come out of the baler heavier than say a - a bale at 15% moisture.

I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
