Extension Dairy Specialist A C Kimrey explains that with molasses as a preservative any green crop that makes hay can be stored in a silo without loss of feed value. Grasses and legumes need added sugar to ferment properly, and molasses amounts are 40–45 pounds per ton for cereal and grass, 75–80 pounds per ton for legume silage.
