Silage can be made from corn, alfalfa, various grasses, or cereal grains. The crop is cut green in the field with a forage harvester when it's at the proper stage of growth. The harvester can be self propelled or a pull type behind a tractor. The harvester blows the silage into wagons or trucks which haul the silage to where it will be stored. Storage can be a pit, bunker, silo, or plastic ag-bag. When the silage is unloaded it is packed tightly by its own weight or mechanical means so that as much oxygen as possible is forced out. In the absence of air (oxygen) the silage goes through a "pickling" process and becomes stable for long term storage. Silage can be fed directly to cows or mixed with other feed stuffs in a mix wagon and then fed out. Once a storage device is opened the silgage should be fed on a daily basis so that the "face" is used before it has a chance to spoil from exposure to air.
