Filling a Newly Constructed Trench Silo

Photograph of filling a newly constructed trench silo that was built with a bulldozer and D6 Caterpillar tractor owned and operated by district supervisors. Cost: $24.00. Capacity: 100 to 125 tons. Silo is 100 feet long, 8 feet deep and about 10 feet wide. This feed was harvested from a 22 acre field which 3 years ago was so severely depleted and eroded that it produced few crops that would not exceed 2 feet in height & some of the land was even too poor for that, according to Mr. C.E. Harvey, a neighbor who is "swapping work." The field was terraced and conservation treated 3 years ago and this year the 22 acre field is producing about 120 tons of Kafir corn for silage, says Alvin Bradney (feeding ensilage chopper) and another neighbor unloads feed from wagon on right.
