No-Mess Bale Bag

No-Mess Bale Bag BALE HANDLING Bale Handling (31B) 24-3-4 Here's a simple idea that might be handy for a lot of people. We spotted it in the New Zealand farm magazine "Farm Equipment News". If you've ever had to haul one bale in a car trunk or back of a van - which you would like to keep clean - you'll like the idea of the No-Mess Bale Bag. Made out of rip-resistant blue poly canvas, the bag has carrying straps so you can tote it on your shoulders, if necessary. The bag is waterproof. It was "invented" by Chris Ries, a farmer near Kaiwaka, Northland, who wanted something to carry a bale or two along when he took his Appaloosa horses to shows. He notes that the bagged bales also make handy bench seats until they're needed as feed. He's having the bags made by a nearby saddlery shop and sells them for about $25 apiece.
