"Bunker Silo's" Maybe you answered a question that I had about something I saw this year that I never saw before. Due to the weather (stayed wet for a long time, into the summer), it seems a lot of farmers around here took their corn and put it on the ground and covered it with huge (like 100's of feet across) white plastic tarps. There was a big crew that came through with the machinery and all and now that I think about it they were chopping the whole corn plant.....hence sileage. Some of it was green, like I saw some farmers cutting, and some had passed that and had a pretty good brownish hue to it.
Now (January) they are rolling back the tarps and with rubber tired loaders (like you would load an 18 wheel dump truck at a sand pit) are removing it gradually.
So I guess that is what this is is sileage in a ground bunker and they have started feeding it. We have few of the conventional silo's here, due I guess, to the mild winters.
Thanks for that info.
