Silos Built From Fodder Bundles Erected Near Hopkinton
Two Hopkinton farmers, William Eike and Ed C. Jones, built bundle fodder silos this fall using stover and corn filler. The Eike silo stands 26 feet high with a 14 foot diameter, while Jones’s reaches about 12.5 feet, settled to nine. Builders describe the circular trench method, staggered bundle placement, and binder bundles to strengthen walls as ensilage is added. The pair learned from a Worthington farmer and mark the first such silos in years in the Iowa region.
