Hey Guys,
Due to the wet fall, we have no wheat planted for next year. This means no bedding for the hogs after next fall.
I was wondering if I could chop dry corn fodder next fall after harvest and blow it into an unused upright silo for storage. I would empty it using the unloader.
Will this work?? Too fluffy to get enough in the silo?? Will the unloader work to empty it??
I'm just trying to find a cheap alternative to straw until 2012. I have enough straw in the mows now, to get me through next fall, I just need about 6 months of carry over. If this works, I may keep the silo topped off just for the added cusion, plus it's less labor intensive than baling straw for our operation.
Any opinions?? Hints?? Am I crazy?? I know corn fodder will make good bedding, I just don't want to fill a silo and not be able to get it out.
Thanks for any feedback.
