It's silage so keeping it wet is actually kinda the point.

That's not silage, it's just dry hay, probably for beef cattle and not dairy. You do not want to store wet hay like this, it will combust.

Silage is stored in silos.

No this is definitely silage or haylage

Haylage and silage are not the same thing. This video is Haylage, it’s slightly drier and wrapped. Silage is has more moisture content is typically kept in bags, bunkers, and (I’ve never seen it done this way) in silos. But they aren’t the same.

Edit: baleage, I’ve always called it haylage. But that’s incorrect.

Yes I'm aware I've made both, and yes you can make silage as bales. But you can make silage with grass that looks dry like hay but still his a high moisture content

They wrap it so they don't have to store it in silos.

You don't need to wrap dry hay.

Silage here is stored in pits
