[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 446558, member: 1715"] Some bigger operators here green chop and make silage piles to extend the "grazing" season. Once you own all the equipment this seems to work well. We are in a drought pocket so I ended up with a lot of unplanned silage this fall. Now I need to buy some additional equipment to feed it. We had a grazing "expert" from Ireland through here last year. He could not understand why folks had all these silos and silage handling equipment rather than just a front end loader to feed grain or byproducts. No one gave him an answer -- but I do know that not too long ago you could not expect ripe corn in this area. Have you seen any studies comparing the economics of, or the negative associative effects from, supplementing forage with grains vs. corn silage? [/QUOTE]
