Silo filling time in North Car
olina has prompted a few re
minders from Kay Ritchie, ex
tension agricultural engineer at
North Carolina State University
at Raleigh.
“A good job of packing and
covering in a horizontal silo will
pay handsome leturns,” Ritchie
says.
Sane farmers do not ctwer
their silos feeling that the silage
saved is not worth the expense
and effort. But Ritchie believes
these farmers overlook two im
portant points.
First, a layer of spoiled silage
sevei-al inches thick on top of an
uncovered silo may represent the
remains of a foot or more of
^ood silage.
Second, there aro the hidden
losses due to excessive fermen
tation and leaching in the silage
that is fed.
Ritchie says research worker.?
in Mississippi measured l h e
losses with several different
types of covers compared to un-
covered silos. The best cover was
•plastic topped with two to thi-c<’
inches of sawdust. Second best
was building felt covered xvith
sawdust or dirt. The labor re
turn for tile plastic covei- was
over $200 for a 20 by 100 foot
silo.
USDA rcsearcti workers re
losses.
For best lesults in a liorizzxntal
silo, Richie says farmers should
pack continuously with a tractor
during the filling operation, and
apply the cover as soon as pack
ing is completed.
Use four tn six mil black plas
tic for the rovci’^ It is i.nportanl
to use -sawitust or other material
over tile cover to hold it down so
that if a hole developes at one
spot, the air will not move a-
cross tile surface of the silo.
“Some farmeis are able to use
the same plastic for two years,
bat even if it only lasts one year,
it should .save silage worth 5 to
10 ti.-nes the cost of the cover. If
you’re using a horizontal silo,
you can’t afford not to use 5 cov
er,’’ Ritchie concluded.
