𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 🚜🛠️ Silage quality starts with proper harvesting and storage equipment. Will you be servicing your machinery soon? Regular maintenance can make a world of difference in preserving silage quality. Review your farming equipment today!

Winter weather can be tough on silage quality, but there are steps you can take to combat it. One such step is using a high-quality silage additive. These additives help maintain pH levels, reduce spoilage, and improve overall silage quality. ❄️🌱

What can you learn from 2023? 🤔 Did you use a silage additive this year? If grass is ensiled without an additive, the fermentation will be at the mercy of whatever bacteria are naturally present on the grass, including bad bacteria, which is an unnecessary risk!

When it comes to #silage face management, timing is key! COLD WEATHER: Aim to move the silage face back at least 1 meter per week. WARM WEATHER: Consider moving it back even faster, around 2 meters per week. This is particularly important for silages with over 30% dry matter.
