Aids to Usefulness on Ensilage Cutter
A farmer’s objection to engilage cutters being used few days yearly led to converting standard feed mills into silage cutters with added parts. These machines fill silos and, year round, cut grind and mix grain and forages for livestock, boosting earning potential beyond silo-only use.
Trench Silo Converts Entire Corn Crop to Feed
Colorado farmers trial trench silos using a simple pit six to eight feet deep and wide 12 to 14 feet at top to store silage. The trench can be extended by length to gain about 14 tons per extra foot, with an opening at one end to remove silage. The method allows saving stalks and green emp, covered with straw and dirt to keep out water.

He notes kafir is harder to threshed and heads can be tough, but feeding with skimmilk produced strong hog gains last winter. He seeds hegari with a grain drill and harvests with a grain binder, finding kafir hay easier to handle than bundles.
