In the US, often seen piled up with white tarps over it and cut up tires on top
The Sauerkraut for the cattle.
Interesting, thanks. I knew silage was a thing we fed to farm animals but didn’t know what it was or why we use it.
Sound and smell experience of October.
Heavy tractors with flashing lights decelerating, working up the silage to empty the trailer and than driving back to the field with the whirring of the corn chopper. The clack of the large tractor doors.
I only know about this from Farming Simulator.
The series is so successful, they turned it into a real thing
I’ve never seen a text description of silage that communicates successfully just how truly bad silage smells, but “More like raw human sewage than actual raw human sewage” comes close. Truly awful stuff to be around for any length of time.
I grew up in the country side. And I don’t mind silage at all. Smells a bit like sweet fermented grass to me. Pig farms on the hand, omg that odor travels for miles.
The ‘sweet’ part is what made me hate it so much. But I do agree hog confinements are worse.
The smell of my childhood
Oh, that’s what I’ve seen in upstate New York!
