UK - Reedham - Straw bales after harvest

Large round bales of hay drying in summer sun after the harvest near Reedham, a small village on the Norfolk Broads. Round bales are harder to handle than square bales but compress the hay more tightly. These round bale is partially covered with net wrap, which is an alternative to twine. Round bales, which typically weigh 300 to 400 kilograms (660–880 lb), are more moisture-resistant, and pack the hay more densely (especially at the center). Round bales are quickly fed with the use of mechanized equipment.
