Many silos have stood empty for years which could be profitably put back into use on farms where livestock are being fed. Use of 40 to 80 pounds of molasses as a preservative, 150 to 250 pounds of grain or 30 to 40 pounds of dried whey per ton will help to insure good quality silage. Research has shown that making silage will save 16 per cent more protein and 8 per cent more dry matter than when the same crop is made into hay. This protein saving equals 400 pounds of linseed meal per acre.
