Trench silos expand as new split level on Stauffer farm
On Willow Street RD 1, John H. Stauffer builds a 200 ton capacity trench silo 50 by 20 by 10 feet with a five foot floor rise. The system aims to ease access for tractor drawn wagons and supplement the farm’s 100 ton upright tank. Holstein cows average 1200 pounds milk daily with 452 pounds fat per cow in 1957.
