Ok, the round baler.
Because they are round, these bales don't have to be picked up out of the field before the next rain. (Just think of the ages old hay or straw stack)
Sometimes they get wrapped in a long package and then sold overseas (well maybe just from PEI to somewhere else in N. America).
In contrast the rectangular bale has to be under cover before the next rain. & that bale can be from say 75 lbs to 200 lbs. A 125 lb rectangular bale can feed 3 adult cattle for a couple days. & I used to fetch them and open them all the time, growing up. & now, I often see a round bale out in a field in the summer.
& now I wonder why I didn't take a pic of a semi trailer being loaded with these bales as I could have the day I took most of these.
