Silage Leachate Threat to Water Bodies and Farms
Spring silage production raises concerns about leachate, the concentrated liquid runoff from silos. Leachate can be hundreds of times stronger than sewage, depleting oxygen in streams and harming fish. Prevent leachate by controlling moisture, covering bunkers, diverting runoff, and using collection tanks or manure storages. For guidance, contact Catoctin and Frederick Soil Conservation Districts at 301-695-2803 ext. 3.
