Small Silo Methods and Farm Notes From Massachusetts
An interview with N. E. Upham of Weston details a five cow silo built five years ago at 12 by 63 feet and 13 feet deep. It stores about an acre of ensilage corn for four to five months, with careful layering and weight to prevent spoilage. Also discussed are silage design choices, packing methods for whole versus cut corn, and using loam or stone to weight the silo, alongside brief digressions on poultry feeding and a note on historic figures who helped advance agriculture but did not reap lasting profits.
