Silage Use and Harvest Methods Evolve Since 1875
Silage production continues to grow as harvesting methods improve. Early reports note horsedrawn cutting sleds in 1875, with field choppers now harvesting over 80 percent of silage in recent years.
Silage use rises on U S farms in 1955 survey
A USDA ARS and Agricultural Marketing Service study of 29 000 farms finds about one eighth growing silage in 1955 with rising numbers of farms and more silage production. National output reaches 73 million tons, up one third since 1951. 600 000 farms produced silage in 1955, a 20 percent gain in five years.
