What It Costs to Run a Silo Article
The piece argues that total farm operating expenses are underestimated because many non cash costs are omitted. Depreciation on buildings is cited as an example, and the text notes that even well built structures lose value over time, affecting overall costs.

A 1914 survey of 54 Gage County farms shows annual depreciation around 10 percent and unpaid family labor counted as value, not expense. Value of per farm items totaled 246 dollars, with total expenses 991 dollars, implying about a quarter of actual farm costs are noncash or overlooked. Southeast Nebraska farms illustrate typical conditions.

Points to Remember in Making Silage
Agricultural notes advise that corn for silage is ready when kernels are deeply dented and beginning to glaze. Cut lengths: three quarters inch for good moisture, half inch if fairly dry. Efficient loading uses two handlers up and one to arrange bundles, reducing unloading time by about 40 percent. When loading green corn, align front and rear butts opposite for center unloading. Silo packing should be tight to exclude air.
