Sour SILAGE & Farm Repairs Alan Clyde | FarmFLiX

[@franklintucker5712]

Side sheets and fix the guttering would help.

[@johnrowland4934]

And it was too dry so won't have sealed properly

[@farmflix]

be interesting to see what the other pit looks like when its opened as the two pits were put in at the same time

[@magsprettejohn2160]

You learn so much from these videos, I had no idea that bad silage could cause cows to lose their calves. Uh oh, lambing season is imminent that will put an end to Alan''s good mood, lol. Great vid, love Clydes Farm.

[@farmflix]

Thanks Mags, yeah we might have a grump Alan for a while lol

hahahaha :)

[@adamkelly4534]

Stone bags down each side of the silo will keep the silage better and role the pit for a while longer should be better quality. But I would suggest stone bags down each side of the walls

[@farmflix]

;)

[@liamfanny9802]

Is that merlo heavy enough to really roll a pity properly,,??

[@farmflix]

you would hardly think it

[@joshuamcf9660]

Course it is.

[@jacobcarr1326]

We have a cover under the pit and and up the sides and over the top and it stays good

[@marcusd2380]

Alan that hole of rot is just below the big dip in the gutter on the other shed. The roof on the other shed is dumping water on you silage cover

[@farmflix]

aye he needs the gutters fixed, though there's rot all over it

[@Massey7718s]

Alan is some craic

[@farmflix]

some man for one man ;)

[@anthony342]

nothing nicer than the smell of good silage

[@farmflix]

yes yes

[@Paul-vd2sp]

Alan sheet the side walls and put more than one sheet on the top of the clamp. Then cover the whole clamp with tyres and you find the birds don't peck through the sheet so easily.👍 Also fixing the guttering on the adjacent buildings will stop the water problem rotting the silge down the sides of the clamp. 👍

[@farmflix]

Be interesting to see how his other pit Fairs out

[@johnhaughian6120]

That is a wild one

what Alan lol

A silo with a roof makes a big difference.if you fix the gutter and put sheets up the sides would help alot

[@andrewmckee8874]

Cut a good used cover into 3 pieces. Back and sides. hanging half inside all walls. Fill silo to a height that will leave it mostly above wall height after being rolled and settled. Fold covers on the edges. Put your new cover on. Then and old cover and bag down the walls and adjust for settling. Old fish or garden netting over the top greatly reduces bird damage.. PLASTER, CONCRETE and CEMENT are porous, any water trapped between the cover and wall will gradually soak through into the clamp. Good drainage also required until clamp has well settled.

[@agripro3498]

We’ve been demoing a Polaris ranger and they are mint, once you’ve tried it you can’t go back😂 ours is coming in April and it fills like it’s a year a way 😂 My advice is to get him one, probably not what you what to hear

[@farmflix]

Alan will love that haha

[@DrattedOwnz]

When was that pit rolled? How long after being put in?

[@farmflix]

was rolled that night and the next day

[@DrattedOwnz]

@@farmflix it's very easy for me to preach and be an 'expert' on KZbin, but here we go... Rolling the next day is really a big no-no, that's typically why you will see so much mould and fluffiness on the top of your silage. Driving on silage the next day causes the top layer to act as a bellows, pressing out the gases held (mostly CO2) and reintroducing oxygen. Get the silage in, spend an hour rolling it and then get the cover on it straight away - a pain if you finish at 1am but worth it every time, even if it's just set on top loosely. Cling film and a black side sheeting cover for that pit should be around ~£150. I'm looking forward to see how the green cover turns out.

[@bmeskill3111]

If you want good silage you have to use side sheets

[@goldfire1676]

Alan man those calves are super great time to be in sheep Dad is some some help

[@farmflix]

he'd be lost without Auld Tom

[@lovelundarnell2482]

packing the silage more and using plastic on the sides and laying it about a meter in on the floor should fix the problem

[@TC-lc3uf]

Not rolled well enough. That's why top block is fluffy looking. Need a tractor rolling full time when buck raking. Blocks at the sides or sausage bags. I think a roof silo helps to.. interested in seeing the other side of that clamp

The loader isnt heavy enough for the pit

Maybe be time to go all bales. Will get the odd bad bale but easier than spronging off a pit

Alan you should try putting a sheet of plastic on the ground and up the side walls and you won't have as much waste at all
