All of these postings describe how silage or Ensilage as we called it is chopped and stored. When I was a teen back in the mid 1940's we didn't have a field chopper. We cut all the corn by hand and was hauled by wagon to our big silos where a silage cutter was set up to chop and blow the silage into the silos. The cutter was belt driven by a 10-20 McCormick-Deering tractor's pulley. We hired extra help since we were all in school at that time. It took several weeks to fill both silos. We had someone in the silo tramping that silage too to pack it down. In 1949 or 1950 there's was man that had a chopper and trucks and did custom silo filling. We had him to do the filling and we put 2 people in the silo for tramping. It only took about 3 or 4 days to fill both silos. Still used the 10-20 on the blower. The cows loved that silage and would wear grooves in the concrete feeding troughs by licking up all the juice from the silage. We fed it to all the dairy cows and to the young stock too, including 2 bulls.
