Work out what is in the clamp is easier. Use a calculator online if you want or it is;
Volume (in m^3) x density (in kg DM per cubic meter) divided by 1000. This gives tonnes of DM in clamp.
Look up density online for your DM but for 30% DM think it is 180kg/m^3 .
Then divide by acres cut.

our first 'silage' trailers, reckon they about 3/4 tons, if that. Just goes to show how far we have moved forward.
Kid double chop, and those trailers, which lasted as a topper and tipping trailers, for years, after we geared up to a precision chop, and 7/8 ton trailers !

We grew 5 this week. I reckon that means I expended more energy walking 150ha this morning than the farm fixed through photosynthesis in the last 7 days!

Health farm cover though and quite low demand. You miggt make it through. Would your demand normally be that low at this time?
I went to put up a break yesterday in the furthest field but the grass there last week had had gone!
I was just thinking to myself earlier this week that Agrinet need to factor in these dry grass-sapping spells into their system.

We run a relatively low stocking rate and take a fair bit of silage off the platform when needed. We have the whole farm available for the cows now but there are a few silage aftermaths that would be reading a higher figure than is really available. Demand would normally be 50 now but I'm chucking a fair bit of silage and cake at them now.
Today was the first time Ive put all the negative growths in a part grazed on agrinet, in the past Ive just put them in as the same as the previous week.

I put aftermaths down about 200 below platemeter reading until next grazing here. I haven't fake grazed any for agrinet but have on occasion gone back to edit previous covers down. bit of a pain especially overwinter
