not so sure that wrapping hay is related to the EPA, it just makes economic sense to prevent rain seeping in

>>Livestock ranchers have to "contain" the hay so we will have clean air. Haven't you seen the wrapped rolls of hay in the fields?<< Paintbrush, have you ever actually set foot on a farm? The plastic wrap is used to create conditions for making silage, aka balage. :o) Haylage and Other Fermented Forages ag.ndsu.edu Baleage, also known as round bale silage, is a somewhat newer method of preserving forage. Baleage is simply forage that is baled at a higher moisture content than dry hay and then stored in sealed plastic wrap. Because of the high moisture level and air-tight environment, the forage ferments and is preserved by acid production during fermentation. This method has certain advantages and disadvantages over other forage harvesting and preservation systems.
