corn silage question

Posted by jacksonduper on November 13, 2011 at 20:11:31 from (75.205.64.131):

Just kicking around an idea. I have a a growing beef herd and I'm kicking around the idea of corn silage. I have the land but not the chopping equipment. My questions are as follows.
1) How many acres does it take to fill a bag
2) How much I feed per day to prevent spoilage
3) What does it cost to have someone come in and chop and bag.

I'm in southern Wisconsin.
I know it depends on yield but give me some input please.
I have experience feeding corn silage but it was at a large dairy so spoilage was not an issue.
Just trying to plan for next year.

Thanks

Joe
