The process of making silage from maize begins by harvesting the maize when it is young and green. It is then chopped into small pieces (1-2 inches) to make the fermentation process easier. The chopped maize is placed in a silage pit or silo and compacted tightly to remove air. Sealing the silo or pit airtight is crucial to prevent oxygen from entering, as it can ruin the fermentation and the quality of the silage. After fermentation, the silage should be stored with a thick layer of cover to pr

Every part of the silage making process is important. Including the clamp, this is where the maize, fresh from the field is tipped and heaped up into a big pile. .It’s crucial to make sure it’s filled evenly and rolled consistently to enable all of the air to be squeezed out. This then ensures anaerobic fermentation takes place which allows for it to stored for the year. .Full video on YouTube “Master Farms”.https://youtu.be/SQcG41o4K0U?si=6BJHzgP9bI_biV-5......#silage #maize #maiz #cornsilage #
