About harvest time and I need grain and straw. Easier to understand the answers here than asking a local with dollar signs in his eyes...
Folks I really like to deal with have winter barley,so I'll start the ???'s there..
1) on the grain itself, is there a difference in feed value between summer and winter crops?
2) Is there a big difference in the straw from the two? Need either barley or oat straw for feed additive for the geldings and bedding at foal time. Wheat straw is a PITA because they eat it and get close to colic.
3) Can I buy/feed directly from the farmer/combine or does it have to go thru a drier first.
4) Here's where the monkey math comes in.... need a ton of grain (preferably 1/2 barley and 1/2 oats) and need to build a set of silos above my press/roller.
How can I figure how big they have to be and will 1/2 inch plywood handle the stress?
