Making Silage On The Ground A Frugal Farmer’s Silo
Theimer builds a trench silo on the ground from slab lumber for about 60 feet long and up to 23 feet wide at the base.

He notes spoilage at edges is minimized by width and aims for low-cost feed, with about 300 tons of rye vetch mix and another 300 tons of oats clover and Johnson grass.
