After harvesting the forages, they are placed into piles (without being dried out) and compacted to ensure no air makes its way into the pile. Once the pile is complete, it is covered with a plastic wrap that keeps the elements away from the pile. Proper execution of a silage pile is extremely important, so it does not spoil and the nutrients stay contained. #TheYearofWhy #SilageForDays | Milk Source, LLC | Facebook
