6 Mil Plastic Tarps

We will be bringing in some true 6 mil smooth black/white silage tarps this season to complement our regular inventory of standard 5 mil plastic. The 6 mil will come in widths of 40, 50 and 60’, on master rolls of 1000’ long. We will have the re-roller set up once again this summer to cut your tarps to length, in increments of 25’. starting at a minimum 100’ rolls. Please pre-order your 6 mil tarp by a few days to allow us time to prepare it for you. Also please specify 5 or 6 mil when you order. Our regular 5 mil smooth black/white tarps will come once again in 32, 40, 50, 60, 80 and 100’ widths, with roll lengths between 100’ and 500’. Custom sizes are also available including 70, 90, 120 wide and beyond. Unlike last year however, we will be having most of them rolled as you are no doubt used to, with the roll running the length of the pile, and the folding moving across the width. We can have them rolled the opposite way (rolled on the width and folded on the length) upon special order. There will be some of those cross rolls in the yard this year in case you are looking for that. Also returning this year is the popular 6 mil SRP or String Reinforced Plastic tarps. This product has a string mesh welded into the plastic for extra strength and tear & run resistance. Many customers found it to be well worth the extra investment. By custom order we can bring in a 10 mil clear SRP that can be used in greenhouse covering applications. Our supplier can custom build and seam a cover to your building drawing specs.

Bale Drench

This year many of you saw the belt tightening, especially when it came to feed prices for the winter months. Hay & straw prices inflating as they did, meant that not everyone was able to gather as much good rich feed as they would normally have. With the low production in harvest in central Alberta, there simply wasn’t enough to share or sell, and we saw lots of feed being brought in from other areas who enjoyed a lusher summer/fall. We noticed an increase in customer requests to produce a product that could be used on straw bales to encourage palatability/consumption, and enhance the protein and nutrient levels of straw. This so that the green feed available could be stretched out as well as the feed dollars available. We created a basic customer formula mix we use for BALE DRENCH, and have been working on it all winter. There have been many repeat customers for it and we have seen it produce higher consumption, better protein and reduced feed costs. In its current formula, it carries 19% crude protein. If you were to put 50lbs of this on an 1000 lb straw bale, your protein will go up by just about 1%, the flavor and the smell will encourage the cattle to consume more of it, needing less forage on a daily basis.
