In the US, often seen piled up with white tarps over it and cut up tires on top

    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’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.
