ABSTRACT A protectant for forage crops. The protectant is made from a mixture of water and plaintain husks, such as psyllium. A thickening and suspending agent may be used to assist the adherence of the protectant to harvested forage. A preferred agent is carboxymethyl-cellulose (CMC), an accepted additive for use in food products. The mixture when dried forms a moisture resistant hardened coating which prohibits the crops from deterioration and weather. A layer of the protectant is applied to the generally upwardly facing surfaces of a quantity of forage. A common form of accumulated forage is the round bale, and the protectant of the present invention is preferably applied to round bales with an arcuate sprayboom which applies a heavier layer of the protectant to top surfaces of the bale and a lighter layer to side surfaces.
