[QUOTE="Amo, post: 810542, member: 14857"] For bagging WDDG you have to have at least a Modified version (45% Dry Matter) or it will sag too much and split the bags. Mixing hay into the WDDG isn't that hard. You don't need to mix it through a TMR wagon or what ever. I know several that just blended it up with a loader tractor as they shoved it up. TMR would be better but time consuming. Some people will lay palstic between and up the inside of two rows of bales. Fill it up, and cover the top. One guy will put 1# per sq foot of rock salt on top of WDDG and under the plastic. The salt will suck the moisture out of the top and form a crust. He has done this for 4-5 years with good success. Unless the paper traders get out of comidities, sounds like corn stalks will be tight all year long, especially September. I went to a futures and options meeting last week. Buying this byproduct in June and July at a discount and storing it sure looks like a good deal to me. One neighbor gets it, piles it up, and leaves it. For what he gets it bought for he can dig the spoiled stuff off and set it aside. The discounted price more than pays for not using the spoiled WDDG. They have done research on the spoiled stuff and say the feed value is the same. Weather they will eat it or not is the question. [/QUOTE]
