Best Answer

An acre is 43,560 square feet.

Most small square bales would lightly cover at least 2x10 ft, but more likely 2x15 ft .

Therefore; 43,560 divided by 30 (if each square bale covers 30 sq/ft as an average) = 1,452 square bales.

If the bales are larger (round bales), obviously fewer bales would be required.

Large round bales would likely provide at least 10X the coverage so likely in the range of 145 round bales

That all depends on the size and type of bales you have, as well as the forage biomass of that field.

Forage biomass is also different from year to year, depending on current seasonal conditions (moisture, sunlight, soil) for your area.
