Hay stocks are depleted around the country, says experienced hay producer Phil Snowden from Tocumwal.
“If you get the opportunity to conserve hay, take it,” Phil said.
“And make sure it goes into effective storage to prevent waste and spoilage.
“We never know when we are covering a stack whether it will be there for a few months or years.
“If you don’t have a shed to put it in, choose a well-drained site and cap it as you are stacking it.
“This will protect you and your hay, for when you will undoubtedly need it in the years ahead.”
Phil has been covering hay for more than 35 years and looked at the major problems with the options that were in use before coming up with his simple, safe and reusable way to cover large square bale stacks.
Hay Caps have proven to pay for themselves in the first season by protecting the hay, he said.
“We have Hay Caps that have been used over and over again for the last 16 years.”
He said with the added bonuses of efficiencies in handling, safety and durability, Hay Caps have now been widely accepted as a better way of covering hay, with more than 1000 farmers and contractors using them.
Uniquely Australian, Hay Caps are made on the family farm in southern NSW using Australian recycled plastic, and distributed to customers throughout Australia.
