Abstract
Disclosed is a reusable waterproof cover of durable plastic film shaped to enclose substantially a large, cylindrical hay bale and having a semicircular top portion with side portions extending generally downwardly therefrom and spaced apart a distance approximately the diameter of a bale to be covered. Opposite end members having an inverted U-shape are connected to the top portion and have lower portions extending between the side portions, whereby the cover fits over the bale with the side and end lower portions tucked inwardly of a reposed bottom of the bale and forming a fold or flap therearound. A tie extends around the bottom of the bale and is received in the fold or flap for drawing the cover securely over the bale. A plurality of slits in the end members permit circulation of air therethrough to aid in keeping the hay in good condition.
