I've done hay for years and years, never tried silage. In spring I always have the problem of grass getting too mature while waiting for a weather window, or of getting hay rained on several times, sometimes both. Making silage would solve that problem, and since we have sheep, goats, pigs, and horses, and will have cattle the silage would be usable. It would seem to save a lot of headache early on, and even though silage might not be great for horses, having it for the rest of the livestock would free up more late hay. So my question is this,what equipment do I have to have, and what sort of storage to I need to build. Minimum investment is important, as I have a pretty dismal budget.
