Another Field Of Marshmellows

            Bales are wrapped in plastic to help preserve the hay in this field in South Iceland northeast of the hamlet of Borg í Grímsnesi. This is a common practice troughout Iceland. To my family and I they looked like fields of marshmellows. The wrapping helps turn dry hay into a silage product (haylage) for feeding livestock. For haylage production, if there are no silos available, wrapping bales is a less expensive alternative for making a 15 to 20 percent protein forage feed. The wrapping of dry hay mproves the forage’s digestibility. This process is becoming more common in parts of the US and Europe but is already the norm in Iceland.
