Our dealer told me none of the manufacturer keep anything in stock machinery wise or infrastructure. Owing partly to so much being made to order. Hi spec dont even keep tanker barrels ready.
This lad put an order in last summer for 500k worth of stuff so he had some stock to sell for the winter. It’s good though as he generally has most things available.

A couple of big fields down from here were wholecropped a few days ago . I thought how the arable silage crop was going to be a saviour for the chap who grew it , who has dairy cows .
But apparently , its gone off on contract to the local bio guzzler

Don’t worry he can buy it back in winter when the price of silage gets high enough that the digester gets switched onto tick over as the digesters owners can make more money selling the feed stocks for animal feed than using it in the digester
Unfortunatly given the price rises in grain I doubt that will happen

Doh! Super fast setting?
Not all of it ....... giving it a week to go off and then a thinnish layer to act as a sponge for any wet grass we may (or may not) get later in the year.
Mind it is reinforced and the builder assures me we can travel on it within 7 days!

501 bales of oats and peas baleage stacked up off 230 acres. A quarter of what we like to have made per year. Need some timely rains for the new seeding alfalfa to get going.

Cripes you need to invest in a silage clamp and avoid paying for all that wrap!!!

For us baling and wrapping works best. We can mow, ted, rake, and bale everything at once in house with our staff. Many variables go into a storage system and we feel the cost of wrap is for now a cost we can live with. All our corn is in drive over piles and takes up all our space to put up good piles with no rot.
