Net wrap is quite similar to silage film wrap; it is built for the same purpose to keep the harvest and keep it for an extended period. The difference might rely on how effective it is in keeping the fodder for a long period, how many variations of fodder mixture can be held by the product, and how much money you have to invest for the item you have in mind.
Usually, silage film manufacture also produces their net wrap; it is often sold side by side because some farmers might prefer to use the bale net instead of the oxygen barrier. With the oxygen barrier, you can make a fodder mixture with unlimited choices, but with the net wrap, you can only choose between grass and hays as it cannot hold fodder that is made from a mixture of seeds.

Is Net Wrap Brands Determine The Quality
It is common knowledge that silage manufacture that has outstanding performance in producing good quality of oxygen barrier might produce good quality of bale net. However, it will be much better if you can choose net wrap brands from a manufacture that is specifically producing agricultural items. Because manufacturer that focuses on agriculture usually have more variation compare to other manufacturers that also produce industrial wrap.
The other reason why net wrap brands from agriculture silage film manufacturer are because they have developed their products through agricultural research and experience. They did not only copy the latest technology but also try to find the best solution for farmers. Their product is also developed to cause no harm to the environment, the fodder, and the animal.
Net Wrap Brands, Local Or Import?
Unlike silage film, which is often restricted based on the construction, colors, and raw materials, the use of net wrap is quite free. The reason is that the construction and materials used for the net wrap are similar whether you buy it from the local manufacturer or import it.
Farmers often buy the net wrap from abroad because the price is cheaper, but the quality is just the same. However, in choosing the net wrap brands, you need to ensure that the product can hold the hay properly and not getting a deform after a few months.
Almost no restriction within the local community about which net wrap brands that they should buy, but farmers still choose the product that can hold firm the hay and reduce the loss during the rolling and the transportation.
How To Check The Net Wrap Brands?
The price and the construction of the net wrap are available online; you can check it on each manufacture to look for the detail of the products. You need to remember that not every manufacture has the net wrap as the option for agriculture, as they might only focus on the oxygen barrier. However, manufacture that supports the farmers and agricultural community will certainly have their net wrap brand.
In choosing which brand that you have to buy, you might need to begin with listing some of the possible manufacturers that are offering bale net; after that, you can look for the review of each bale net item that they offer (please pay attention to the variation and the price of the bale net). Consider buying the bale net from your local community if you only need a couple of rolls, but if you plan to buy them in tons, then contacting the manufacturer will help you to reduce cost.
Net Wrap Or Twine
If you are still confused about buying a twine and a net wrap, please choose the net wrap first unless you don’t have the budget. The net wrap might be more expensive than twine, but it is used less compare to twine. Net wrap only needs a couple of turns, while twine will require 20 to 25 turns to secure the hay.
Not only twine has a great lost percentage than net wrap, but it is can also easily deform during rolling and transportation. Spending more money on bale net is a wide decision; at least you will not suffer a greater loss than using the twine.
