Rome, KS | Most custom silage operators have a minumum charge of $65/acre. That's on an 8 ton minimum. Plus you're going to have swathing and probably merging on top of that. You need to be able to keep air out of your silage pile. Cover it with plastic and cover the plastic with tires. If you don't it dries out quite a ways down and then when it rains it soaks in that far. I've seen 16 foot tall uncovered bunkers here become complete s(*t here after one summer, but the guys cows ate it all the next winter so he thought it was ok. Doesn't realize how much value has disappeared from the feed. | |
