Does anyone know in practice how long a compressed hay bale (hay, not haylage) will last in the plastic wrapper? One of the producers has told me it shouldn't be kept in a plastic wrapper for more then a few months (but does not state this in the bag), another has told me something completely different that it can last for over a year.

I am hoping to keep some bales to see me into the winter and am wondering if I should store them without the plastic wrappers. It would be useful to know what happens to the hay if kept too long in the plastic - I presume condensation and mould might be a problem.
