Wow, that is high moisture to be harvesting and storing.

From above site ....
Too Wet
Harvesting corn silage at moisture levels above 70% will not only yield less but will result in seepage and a very undesirable clostridia fermentation. Clostridia bacteria are very inefficient and convert forage sugars and organic acids into butyric acid, carbon dioxide and ammonia. This silage will have high dry matter losses, high levels of foul-smelling butyric acid, with a higher pH, and poor feed quality, palatability and intake potential. | |
