Jiim,

AEP (maker of Sunfilm) makes white and black. My plastic guy carries both, but I don't know how easy it is to find the black from everybody, since most people think bale wrappers are just for baleage & carry only the white. Oh, I suppose Farm Bag Supply over in Ohio might ship you some...but shipping on just a couple rolls would likely be high.

Another thing...

Whether baleage or dry hay, keeping quality will be better if the bale rows are oriented north - south. That way both sides of the bale get sunshine every day, to drive moisture away from underside of the plastic. When bales are oriented east - west, the north side can sometimes get "snotty" as I mentioned. (Same principle involved: heat is needed to drive moisture away from the plastic.)
