.1994. Effects of top covering and ground base on round bale hay quality over winter. . The effect of top treatments nocover (NC), tallow (TL) and tarp (TR) and bottom treatments gravel (G) and soil (S) on dry matter (DM) (Lechtenberg et al. 1979; Brasche and Russell 1988;Russell et al. 1990). The objectives of this trial were to study the efficacy of protecting round bales from weather damage using tallow and tarp and determine DM and quality changes when bales were placed on either a gravel or soil base.
