Tried a small load of fodder beet last year, got ewes on with eating it and they got a taste but half of it went mushy and mouldy, I think the frost had gotten to it before I bought it (seller stood by me, so no problem) Before I commit to 20 tons, what's best way of keeping/storing it, how...

This is a slightly bizarre and definitely pointless thread but putting hay out yesterday for our dry cows and thinking what a fantastic feed it is; no plastic, no effluent, easy as pie to handle and transport, rumen friendly, cows love it. Got me wondering; does anyone know of anyone still...
