Abstract
A baler is provided with binding material having identification tags at spaced intervals. A formed bale is bound with the binding material using a knotter system on the baler to obtain a completed bale. The identification tag is identified with a read module and sensed parameters of the crop material or bale are associated with the identification tag on the completed bale. A number of identified bales are then joined into the aggregation of bales. The identification tag for each of the identified bales in the aggregate is associated to the aggregation of bales. A person then could read a single identification tag of one of the identified bale in the aggregate which would then populate a characteristic field in the software for each identified bale in the aggregate based off the single identification tag that was read.
