Silo Upgrade Cuts Feed Costs On Sangrey Farm
John Sangrey of Lancaster County adds a 90 by 18 by eight foot trench silo for corn silage to feed 140 head of steers. The cement block bunker with a dirt bank replaces dirt trenches and uses a rack system for self feeding. Grains may rise to meet lower quality silage while bean sorghum is damaged and corn yields fall.
