the bale wrap is available at a Ford/new holland equipment dealer
4 ft by 4000 ft is about $140 canadian.............that's probably around
$100 US.
it is the exchange that is really disappointing this year.....when i order
from johnny's
,cooks or sheppard seeds ..i have keep the prices in mind.
we do have some good seed companies here..but the above mentioned have always
been used.
