Building a New Silage Pit to Store Feed for Our Cattle

We are building a new silage pit to store corn that we grow here on Cannon Ranch. This will be used to produce a high quality feed for our cattle (which will make for high quality beef!). Normally, a plastic wrap is used to store silage, but that can produce a lot of waste and inefficiencies, as Paul mentions in the video.

Welcome to the channel and thank you!

Now you're trading plastic for tires and they are really a pain. Besides you still have a lot of plastic.

You're right that plastic is not completely eliminated, but it is greatly minimized.

That is a great point. Thankfully we have yet to have any issue with mosquitoes or standing water, but that could be due the near constant high winds we get out here during the afternoon. The pit also has rather high walls (around 18ft), giving most of the silage cover by way of concrete block (we added two more last year). There are only a handful of tires along the top with ample spacing in-between.
