This Month’s Cover
In the main dairying districts of New Zealand hay and silage made from surplus pasture are the principal supplementary feeds for stock when grazing is short. This month’s ' cover, which has been reproduced from a colour photograph by National Publicity Studios, shows a group of farmers at Broadlands (between Rotorua and Taupo) collecting material with buckrakes for a silage stack- n recent years methods of stacking silage have been considerably modified to suit the efficient operation of buckrakes, and long wedge or bun stacks built on flat or sloping ground have become a feature of the landscape in dairying districts. The buckrake is particularly suitable also for the filling of silage trenches.
