Sugar beet tops

[holywell farmer]

Never seen ensiled, but I do remember the early 80s, father running a side mounted single chop forager on mf165. He would drive up and down the sugar beet openings blowing the leaves of 3? rows into a jf feeder wagon, then charging home to feed them to the cows.

Apparently the cows milked well on them, but you had to be carefull as you could easily overdo them and make them ill

Milking cows ?

Yep, they were fed an all hay diet back then, so i guess it would have fed well.
