Dairy Farm Life - S1E10 - Preparing for silage
The weather keeps us farmers on our toes! Despite good winter rainfall that allowed us to grow a lot of grass for our cows to feed on, there's now TOO MUCH moisture in the ground. We need the grass to dry out a fair bit before cutting it to make silage, a valuable source of nutrient rich feed preserved and stored for use in the drier months when there is less grass on the ground.
While we're luckier than many farmers who didn't get much rain this winter, the moisture will become a problem if it is still around next month and we can't make silage.
Julian explains this and more in this month's farm journal including an exciting new collaboration and product launch that is just a few short weeks away!
