Subject: Will the Ensiling process kill weed seed germ?


NW Illinois
Heres the deal.

We seeded 40ac of Oats, Alf and Grasses this spring on Sand. Mowed and Baled the Oats off as dry Hay. Maybe have had 2in Rain since so the Field has turned into a Field of Lambsquarter, Common Ragweed, and unwanted Grasses.

The current plan is to Mow and Bale to remove the residue and use as Bedding for Cattle and Hogs.

My Question is, If the Baler chases the Mower to retain as much moistuer as possable, and I wrap the Bales will the Ensiling process cook the grem in the weed seeds enough to kill it? Other suggestion Please.

Thank You.
