As the main silage-making season begins, farmers are being reminded by the Department of Agriculture of silage bale storage requirements.
As of this year, silage bales, including dry matter silage or haylage, can only be stored a maximum of two bales high, in the absence of adequate facilities for the collection and storage of any effluent that may arise.
