Silage harvest is almost complete!

9/11/2011

0 Comments

 
Saturday we started out a little wet, but dried up nicely allowing to harvest our corn silage that our cattle and pigs will dine on during the winter months.  The corn is ready a little earlier than normal, but gave us a great crop.  The ears were big and full and lots of green in the stalks.  We filled our silo and are going to finish packing it tomorrow to close it up by covering it with plastic until late November.  In the mean time, the silage will actually begin to ferment which is what keeps it from spoiling.  The better we get it packed, the better it keeps.  We will feed it daily until the spring, along with some hay to keep the girls in the barn happy.
