PHOTO REPORT: Centralised silage making in the Netherlands
During the harvesting season, dairy farmers in the Netherlands can bring their grass and maize to a centralised place where the fodder is being made into quality silage. Three farmers started this ‘Feed Centre’ a couple of weeks ago in a little Dutch town called Woudenberg. After a few months of conservation, the forage is mixed with the raw materials into a base diet. This way, dairy farmers don’t have to invest in silage storage, a mixer wagon and labour.
