Relation of the silo and silage to dairying
Twenty years ago few farmers knew of silos, now silage is common in major dairy regions. Indian corn proves best for silage with alfalfa or soy beans mixed, preserving more feed and digestibility. Proper filling, leveling, and minimal trampling ensure even distribution, while top layers are removed before feeding. Combining alfalfa hay with silage offers the cheapest milk producing ration, with grain used sparingly near peak lactation. Bull calves should be treated gently but not trusted when large.
