Spring barley after stubble turnips problems

[Bomber101]

We have a good neighbour who grows stubble turnips for dairy cows over winter on a field destined for spring barley. He takes control after harvest, plants turnips, bales straw and brings in silage bales. We retake control after the cows leave in february.
The problem we face is how deal with the heaps of silage left after the cattle have fed them (the straw bale sites are fine!). The neighbour currently dots them over the field where he needs them over winter and then comes over with a atv to unwrap and let the cattle feed. The remaining silage forms "ropes" when we try to cultivate and holds a lot of moisture which takes a while to dry the ground out underneath.
What do other people do, put the bales on the headland tramline and then get the loadall to remove silage heaps to his lagoon, no silage bales brought in, silage trailer when neeeded (ruts may be an issue) or another solution! We have tried the bales of silage to be chopped by the baler but this made little difference, I expect a certain percentage of the grass, as it feeds in to the baler, goes through without being chopped and this is the problematic bits of silage!
Many thanks in advance!!

I have a similar problem. Last year I found that bales close to the edge of the field were damaged by vermin whereas the ones in the middle of the field were fine. This year I put them in the middle of the field but I have had a hell of a job trying to sort out the mess. Last year I used a heavy cultivator (Kongskilde Delta) which worked but this year didnt have access to it so got my neighbour to try with his heavy disc /tine quattro. This was a mistake and we have resorted to an old spring tine cultivativator to pull it about and aerate. In future I will only use straw on the headland!I your neighbour is going to continue to use silage I would get him to leave it on the headland and use a pig tail type cultivator to break it up afterwards.
