It’s plastic, all right, but WHAT is it?
Bales of hay, wrapped up for storage. It seems to be a good way to do that or why else would one see them everywhere? Non-agriculturally minded me is wondering though, if the plastic is really necessary?

I wonder that too. It always remained unwrapped before ….

They had an in-between stage here where the hay was wrapped in a clear plastic foil but only the sides, and the bottom and top remained uncovered. One still sees them occasionally but the majority of hay bales are wapped up.

Farmers use enormous amounts of plastic, not just wrapping the hay but most livestock feed comes in plastic sacks now that used to be hessian … I think farmers need to research more environmentally packaging for such large scale use!
Interesting about plastik meaning ‘sculpture’ … learn something new everyday 🙂

The difference between sculpture and plastic is that a sculpture is when something is taken away (i.e. a stone being chisselled to reveal a form) and a plastic is something that is built up (i.e. clay). I hope I could explain that properly. The related adjective “plastisch” means 3-dimensional.
