We use both bags and silos.We have our own bagger, it is 8ft machine a 150ft bag holds about 120 tons cornsilage.To hire a bagger is about $550-750 and that includes the bag.There are a few 6 and 7 ft baggers around,they are used for hi-moisture corn but will work for cornsilage as well.In the winter time you will need to remove very little feed three to four inches.Do not make the feed to wet as a bag can and will freeze solid.Doesn't hurt anything but makes more work busting up frozen chunks with loader.Consider a few loads of stone for a base under your bag,getting stuck in fall and spring mud is not fun.Most people who hate bags have them out in nowhere without a base. Keep the area around the bags clean and spray any weeds around the bag.In 18 years we have never had coon damage,but have had some rat problems. We lay pvc pipes 3ft long beside bags with rat posion in them(keeps it dry and away from other animals.If birds ever become a problem lay a few short pieces of garden hose on the tp of the bag(it looks like a snake to a bird)In good corn 200bu. we figure 24 to 30 tons to the acre.
