American silos boost Dutch dairy feeding at Johannahoeve farm
The first American ensilage tower in Holland, built last year at Johannahoeve farm in Oosterbeek by the Institute for Agricultural Improvements, has proven effective. Plans for two more towers on the same farm aim to supply ensilage maize to feed all stock next winter.
