Silage wrap's key role in baleage production for winter feed has manufacturers pushing the boundaries of polymer production.

Good silage making is a fine art, explains Chris Balemi, managing director of Agvance Nutrition.

A new mower from Irish manufacturer Malone will be of interest as a no-nonsense, heavy duty machine for use in hay or silage production.

Grass silage begins to break down once exposed to air, making steps to reduce losses crucial.

Most losses that occur when you make silage are invisible, but they can be up to 40% of the original cut pasture. 

High-quality silage is a stable feed made from high-quality pasture.

Making high-quality pasture silage should not be difficult, but it must be viewed as a supplementary feed, rather than just a necessity to manage pasture. 

Making silage is a balance: when a paddock is closed, yield increases but quality declines.

The process of making silage (ensiling) is very old. 

Maize silage harvest is running two-three weeks late in most areas because of later planting and cooler-than-average early summer temperatures.
