Just doing a little feeding on the farm. As you can see in the first picture, this is a huge silage pile that has been covered with black plastic. This corn was raised and harvested by us, where it was then chopped and put into wagons and transported to this area. A tractor then compacted it as more loads were heaped on top. The entire pile was surrounded by fencing to prevent any animals from getting in and damaging the plastic. Each day, a feed wagon is filled with this silage and taken out to the fields. This helps supplement their diet, as well as hay and grass. It’s especially nice for winter because it’s always a warm meal, as the silage continues to ferment and produce heat.
At G&R Farms, we always want to give you a glimpse into our farming life. It’s kind of cool to see how things work behind the scenes.
Remember: we will be open tomorrow, Saturday, October 31st, 10-2!
