Zusammenfassung:A baling machine (10) comprises a bale-forming chamber (17) for receiving plant matter (P) and forming it into a bale (B), the bale-forming chamber (17) including one or more rotatable, bale-forming rollers (18) and a feed mechanism (26) for feeding a flexible wrapping material (27) into the bale-forming chamber (17) for wrapping a bale (B) therein. The baling machine (10) includes an acoustic or vibration sensor (31) that is capable of generating an output, the acoustic or vibration sensor (31) sensing an output signal that is characteristic of operation of the baling machine (10) while wrapping material (27) is being fed into the bale-forming chamber (17), and the status of the output of the acoustic or vibration sensor (31) indicating whether wrapping material (27) is being wrapped (i) onto a said bale (B) or (ii) around a said bale-forming roller (18).
