American Silo in Holland at Johannahoeve Farm
The first American ensilage tower in Holland, built last year at the Johannahoeve farm in Oosterbeek, is praised by the Institute for Agricultural Improvement. It has prompted two more towers on the same farm to provide enough ensilage maize to feed all stock next winter. The head of the project says the American method outperforms prior practice, yielding excellent fodder with lower fermentation losses. He estimates 44 cows can be sustained on 37 acres with the new method, possibly 23 34 acres with exclusive stable feeding, requiring only albuminous fodder in winter.
