Hay Baler Used In Filling Silo On Geauga Farm
Ohio State University extension specialists endorse using a hay baler to fill silos when a field chopper is unavailable. Everett and William Hale of Geauga County reported 11 acres of mixed hay made into silage in 18 hours with untied plugs loaded on a wagon. Experts note balers with slicers work best and that this method requires more labor than field chopping but avoids tying green crop.
