The life of the silo should always be carefully considered in connection with its' initial cost. A silo might be built for $150 which would last ten years, the cost exclusive of upkeep being $15 a year. With the use of better materials or construction on the same size silo its life might be increased to twenty years at an additional outlay of perhaps $50, which it will be readily seen is much cheaper per year. Quality usually goes hand in hand with price and the farmer who can afford it should not make the mis take of building anything but the best if he wishes to economize to greatest advantage.

Modern Silage Methods (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive guide to the siloing system, a method of preserving green, coarse fodder in a succulent condition for livestock. Although the practice has roots in antiquity, the author takes the reader on a journey of its development, with a particular focus on the silo's rise in the United States in the late 19th century. The book's focus is primarily on the use of silos to preserve Indian corn (maize), which is the American crop best suited for the purpose. Not only does the author explore the history and evolution of the silo, but they also detail the many advantages of the siloing system over other methods of preserving feed, such as its ability to preserve a larger quantity of food materials, reduce losses during curing, and provide a uniform, succulent feed for livestock throughout the year. They also discuss the relative costs and benefits of different silo types, such as rectangular, square, and cylindrical structures, made from materials like wood, brick, or cement. The book concludes by emphasizing the silo's significance as a valuable tool for modern agriculture, highlighting its role in increasing livestock productivity and efficiency, and its contributions to sustainable farming practices. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
