We always had a bog hole we were loading silage out of.

The Problem

“I like things nice and tidy and take pride in what I do. The silage pit was one mess that I really didn’t like too much and I especially don’t like feeding my cows spoiled feed which was hard to manage once I opened the stack if I wasn’t using it fast enough. I ended up feeding more to my stock because of the poor quality and getting so much waste in the stack with the wet and the mud.

I’m a one-man band and there nothing worse than getting stuck in the silage pit and feeding out spoiled maize to my stock ”

The Solution

“It's like concrete in there, you go in with a loader with the 2m wide bucket. The little 80hP tractor goes in and just wheelspins so it's so packed in there! That’s a massive plus because when you do get it out it's that beautiful golden stuff and it smells good. There is such a quality difference and you can actually feed less of it I have noticed because the quality is better. A lot of people comment on the bunkers, they look smart. I can see us going down the path of building a third one, it will be so easy as most of the infrastructure is already there.”
