typical cost In Virginia (15T/ acre) when If comes to makinj silage. Last yearfe silage contained 296 pounds of tota digestible nutrients per ton this yearls silage had 498 lbs TDN per ton. Thus the comparative TDN costs per poun< were 1.7(5 and 1(5. Storage is another cost. L Tom had say 20 acres tha yielded 15 tons per acre li 1964, It would have taken 50' tons of the 1963 silage to have been equal to this yearfe feet value. This represents a difference of 204 tons! He woulc need two additional 12’ x 45 silos to store the feed! At $5.00 per ton as a typica cost this figures the decisioi worth $1020.00. But there is still anothei value to consider. It took 6' lbs. of the 1963 silage t( satisfy the daily nutritive needs of a 1100 lb. dry bee; cow, but 38 pounds of hjs 196' silage will do the job! Don’; forget there is a lot of laboi or machine capital, involvec in handling silage from the silo to the cows. Congratulations Tom - I'rr proud of the job you did. Keej making those five-minute decisions worth better than i thousand bucks!
