Comment:
Baled straw from the LTER Main Site Treatments T1 and T2, all replications. Straw from the wheat harvest was left to dry in the sun for 2-3 days until the moisture content was below 14%. Each plot was then individually round baled. In most plots, multiple round bales were made; at the end of each plot remaining straw in the baler was baled regardless of the size of the bale. Bales were left in the field an additional 2-3 days at which time they were removed and weighed to determine the amount of straw per plot.
