Wheat Straw coverage

[longbeardsc]

Hey just wondering what the normal coverage is for a bail of wheat straw. This will be spread by hand also. I assume there is a difference when using a straw blower. Thanks

We do ours pretty light, and get roughly 350 sq. ft. per bale. I'm sure there is a wide range of opinions on this one.

One of these two departments, either NC co-op. xten. office or
Dept. of Ag. suggest 1-2 bales per 1000 sq. ft., and make sure
you can see 1/2 the ground under the straw.
Happy strawing.
