Subject: How long will silage keep in a bunker silo on ground


Kansas
Well we chopped drought corn this summer and now we have gotten nearly 2x the grazing days on cornstalks compared to what I planned on, so I will likely have a bunch of various feed left over come next may.
So we piled the silage (no grain in it) in bunker silo 5ft high and covered with plastic and solid with tire rings, will it keep for a total of 2years?
How much spoilage will I have?
We get some spoilage at 6mo to a year out but haven't gone longer than that.
Do I need to find some cattle to feed to get it used up this winter yet?
It wouldn't bother me to have that left as a hedge for next years drought but is that the smartest for feed quality? I have other hay and maybe some wet distillers that could go with it.
