Main Points
Mr T. E. Rowlands believes that the main factors involved in the successful making of maize silage on his property this year were:— (1) The pit was allowed to heat sufficiently after the initial loading in of the maize and every effort was made to keep rain out of the material at this stage. - (2) The subsequent filling of the pit was adjusted to allow this heating to be maintained and none of this maize was cut while there was dew on it. (3) The sealing of the pit with a covering of soil was timed to halt the ensiling process at the right heat level.
