Now is ideal time to plan ahead for next year’s silage budget

April is upon us and silage season is just around the corner, even though most have not finished feeding silage yet this spring. Temperatures look like being suitable for growth over the coming week and hopefully beyond.

Have you calculated your silage requirements for next winter? Firstly you should calculate your feed stock being carried over from last year if you are lucky to have any.

As a rough guide Length X Width X Height in feet divided by 50 will give you total tonnes in the pit.
