After making a few "test runs" over the weekend, we are now full-bore into our spring silage harvest. As per normal operating procedure, we will cut our wheat and ryegrass with a hay conditioner and chop it with the forage harvester (silage chopper) a few hours later. We plan on harvesting roughly 75 acres over the next week and a half, weather and equipment permitting. Following the harvest, we will turn our attention to planting sorghum and harvesting our first cutting of bermudagrass hay.

A dump truck will transport the freshly cut forage
to the silage pit where it will be packed and sealed. |

I run a dairy farm in northeastern Germany and also blogging about the everyday life in agriculture.
