Alan opens the first pit of silage as he pays more attention to feed value and waste and the affect it could have on cows and sheep. The Anticipation grows to see the outcome of the Silage Safe system but remains quietly confident. A few more gate Repairs around the farmyard and a leaky water trough finally get the farmers touch but Paul is brought back in to fix the Mighty Merlo again as Alan worries more about the livestock than tractors and machinery. Auld Tom is happy with the sheep scanning and lambing is just around the corner!

You learn so much from these videos, I had no idea that bad silage could cause cows to lose their calves. Uh oh, lambing season is imminent that will put an end to Alan''s good mood, lol. Great vid, love Clydes Farm.

Stone bags down each side of the silo will keep the silage better and role the pit for a while longer should be better quality. But I would suggest stone bags down each side of the walls

@Paul-vd2sp 3 года назад

Alan sheet the side walls and put more than one sheet on the top of the clamp. Then cover the whole clamp with tyres and you find the birds don't peck through the sheet so easily.👍 Also fixing the guttering on the adjacent buildings will stop the water problem rotting the silge down the sides of the clamp. 👍

@andrewmckee8874 3 года назад

Cut a good used cover into 3 pieces. Back and sides. hanging half inside all walls. Fill silo to a height that will leave it mostly above wall height after being rolled and settled. Fold covers on the edges. Put your new cover on. Then and old cover and bag down the walls and adjust for settling. Old fish or garden netting over the top greatly reduces bird damage.. PLASTER, CONCRETE and CEMENT are porous, any water trapped between the cover and wall will gradually soak through into the clamp. Good drainage also required until clamp has well settled.

@darraghrogers5325 3 года назад

A silo with a roof makes a big difference.if you fix the gutter and put sheets up the sides would help alot

@farmflix 3 года назад

@jacobcarr1326 3 года назад

packing the silage more and using plastic on the sides and laying it about a meter in on the floor should fix the problem

@TC-lc3uf 3 года назад

Not rolled well enough. That's why top block is fluffy looking. Need a tractor rolling full time when buck raking. Blocks at the sides or sausage bags. I think a roof silo helps to.. interested in seeing the other side of that clamp

@zackclarke3067 3 года назад

Alan you should try putting a sheet of plastic on the ground and up the side walls and you won't have as much waste at all

@DrattedOwnz 3 года назад

When was that pit rolled? How long after being put in?

@farmflix 3 года назад

was rolled that night and the next day

@DrattedOwnz 3 года назад

@@farmflix it's very easy for me to preach and be an 'expert' on RU-vid, but here we go... Rolling the next day is really a big no-no, that's typically why you will see so much mould and fluffiness on the top of your silage. Driving on silage the next day causes the top layer to act as a bellows, pressing out the gases held (mostly CO2) and reintroducing oxygen. Get the silage in, spend an hour rolling it and then get the cover on it straight away - a pain if you finish at 1am but worth it every time, even if it's just set on top loosely. Cling film and a black side sheeting cover for that pit should be around ~£150. I'm looking forward to see how the green cover turns out.
