Upright or tower silos, ag bags or bunker silos are common ways to store hay, corn or snap silage. Baleage has to be wrapped by a special machine that stretches the plastic over the bales. I'll try to get some pics up of the various types of silage and the storage and harvesting equipment that is used to make it.
