One of thie requirements is a good, tight, strong silo. If your silo is not well reinforced, put extra bands around the lower part to strengthen walls.
To estimate yields of silage for the different crops, multiply the expected, yield in hay by three. For instance, if an alfalfa field would produce 4 tons of hay per acre during the year* it would furnish about 12 tons of silage.
There are two ways to preserves grass silage. One is to wilt material before it is put in the silo, to reduce moisture to 65 to 58 percent. The length of time t will take varies with the crop, jts' maturity, the dampness of the.ground, and the weather. The other is preservatives, added to grass silage to improve the quality.
