How much a rotary chops it up depends on how damp the straw is when it's combined. Tough green wheat straw baled in the morning comes out in pretty long pieces (takes a lot of power too)but if it's 100 degrees out and the wheat's dead ripe you're gonna have powder. We used to bale 5000 acres of irrigated wheat in Idaho with 2388's and they'd bale it all up in large squares. I couldn't get over how the baler could pick up that ground up stuff. i don't know how the bales held together. You could grab a corner of the bale with your hand and pull out a handfull of ground straw.
I never did like oat or wheat straw for bedding when I had hogs because it wasn't as absorbent as corn stalk bales, but straw sure did make the hogs look shiny and clean for a few hours. Jim
