Silo of Great Importance Improves Dairy and Beef Costs
Practical dairymen who use silos report eight to ten cents saved per pound of butterfat in production. Beef feeders note savings of $1 to $1.50 per hundred pounds. Feeding experiments support these claims and silage is valued at 4 to 6 tons per year under normal conditions, rising with higher feed costs. Farmers cite average corn ensilage cost at about $2.75 per ton. The inability to do without a silo appears more critical than the decision to build one.
