We always made sedan sileage and put it in a pit trench. Grandpa was a tightwad. We put it right on the dirt and didn't cover it. We had about 6 inches at the top that spoiled but it got fed anyway. He always thought a tractor would waste so we put it in the back of the pickup with an ensilage fork (by hand). Then shoveled it into the bunks. I can only remember using the loader tractor during heavy snows and we still forked it into the loader by hand. He did that after I was gone until he turned 80.
I do remember hauling water in 5 gallon buckets to put out fires on the pit many times. Seemed to always be about 2 am when we piled into the 1949 chev pickup to haul out water.
I still love the smell of sileage to this day. Those are some of my best memories.
