In Reply to: Corn silage? posted by M Nut on August 22, 2013 at 19:31:10:
Thanks for all the information. To answer some of the questions addressed. I dont know of a bagger for rent anywhere in our area. What few guys that make silage still use the upright silos. I suppose St. cloud area has baggers for rent but that is about 60 miles from me. This silage would be fed to my beef cows simply to get something out of it. Only second year raising corn, plan was to pick the ears and grind them for steer feed like last year, but that's not going to happen with most of my 12 acres I planted. Drought is getting to it fast and no real chance of rain in the forecast. Have had no rain since June when it finally quit raining so we could plant it! Talk about one extreme to another. Yes I do have equipment to harvest my own silage. Its all old, slow, but in good shape, so no extra cost there. Basically I can do it all, just need to be sure I am doing it right as I have never stored silage. Last year I green chopped every day for a month or so and fed it to the cows to help their milk production for their calves when pasture was short. Bruce, thanks for the photos, and thanks to all others for their thoughts and information. I will let you guys know how it goes. Hope to be well on my way buy the end of the weekend.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
