Sure the wetter the better. When I was a kid and we were putting up silage I can remember that sorgum was all the rage. Real wet summer and when that stuff was in the silo water was squirting out from between the tile blocks! Water running down the sides of the silos. The drains around the silo were like a little river of juice going down the drain. Smelled like a beer factory. NOW there was a side benny to all of this.
