for the sides of the siIo was able TO
get a tight wall We had very little
trouble with spoilage.
If / were building the silo outside
We found that 10 feet was little too
narrow for tractor to maneuver
around when packing the silage.
I didn't use chopper last year but
put it up full length. I wanted to get
some experience before investing in
one. However, we intend to use field
chopper this year, as I believe we'll
be able to pack it better and get better
silage. We should be able to work right
through a rain storm.
Last summer the alfalfa was moved
and hauled to the silo with buckrake.
This was slow but it worked well until
it rained. In cleaning up what was
moved we got little mud in with the
alfalfa. The cows wouldn't eat this SO
there was some waste However, most
of it was good feed and cows have held
up better than usual in their milk pro-
duction
Two men besides myself were all
the crew necessary. One man brought
a load of alfalfa in on the buckrake
every 10 minutes and another man had
a tractor with a large manure fork to
spread and pack the silage. We tried
to use sodium bisulfite as a preserva-
tive but found it disagreeable to work
