Cows look good, good looking feed. We feed a lot of silage out of uncovered ground piles. Looks like your neighbor keeps a tidy place.😂

Thank you, and yes the neighbor just so happens to own a scrap yard 😅but he is a great guy.

@@RuralMidwest was eaiser for us to use spreader as there's not any demand for feeding wagons around here..the few who feed silage either feed by hand and two have small feedlots and feeders.

Questions from a fellow farmer (in Ireland) 1 why is there so much waste on top ? 2 why remove all the plastic at once ? 3 why such shallow troughs _ the cattle will spill feed on the ground and waste it

We only feed silage once every 7 years or so if we have a bad drought and corn doesn't produce. The waste is just spoil because we do not tarp our pits, we pack them really tight and feed 2 months after our last load is dumped. The feed bunks are so shallow because they are ment to put corn and other grains in not for silage, we feed mostly ground corn and hay but use then for silage if we need to.

Ok that makes sense. Considering the cost of growing and harvesting a crop i think $100 for a sheet of plastic would be a good investment but we all do what works for us
