Field capacity is the maximum water held after gravity stops. wilting point is when the plant wilts. Saturation causes waterlogging, while moisture below wilting point kills the plant. Available moisture lies between field capacity and wilting point.

Planning Grass Silage for Fraser Valley Dairies
M F Clarke of the Experimental Farm at Agassiz B C outlines a long barn feeding period for dairy cattle in the lower Fraser Valley and emphasizes silage as a key roughage. He advises three pounds of silage per one pound of hay as a safe rule and provides calculations for a 30 cow herd over 210 barn days totaling 114 tons of silage and 38 tons of hay. Continuous wilt to 70 percent moisture is recommended before storing silage.
