Farmers should harvest silage corn when kernels are well dented and plants remain green enough to pack and ferment. Cut into pieces 1/2 to 3/4 inch, distribute heavy and light parts evenly, add water if too ripe, and ensure airtight packing in the silo. Dry shock corn with water is acceptable but not as palatable.
A field guide for barn owners explains building a concrete stable approach rather than wooden ramps. Remove old sills and supports, excavate, lay six inch concrete with sand and broken stone, form with planks, and avoid steel floats to keep the surface rough for grip. Cure for a week to ten days before loading.
Alsike shows better tolerance to freezing and wet acidic soils and makes finer hay than red clover, though its yield and second cut are weaker.
