Hansen Urges Two Fillings of Silo for Dairy Cattle
Prof. E N Hansen of Town State college dairy husbandry urges farmers to fill silos twice yearly. He cites a northern Iowa farmer feeding silage to thirty cattle since last October from a single silo and using September and February or March fills. Water must be added during ensiling for proper moisture and fermentation. Spring filling is advised to bridge dry late summers, with stover only yielding about 61 percent of full silage value.
