Interesting read this morning....
Minnie we never had haylage we only had corn silage when I was a kid. We had two silos a 30 ft one and a 60 ft one. We also had a pit silo, butthat we unloaded with a tractor and loader. ( the put also produced lots of waste.) The 30 ft one is the one I so vividly remember chipping and pick axing the frozen stuff out of. It was an older silo and not very wide. I remember the outside 3 ft being frozen solid. the center was frozen but not as hard. There was no roof on that silo and it could have frozen every night, I just do not recall that.
I liked the smell of the gases in the fall. As I said Dad made us stay away, but the smell of fermenting corn was almost "delicious". It could have to do with my being forced to eat "goulash" for 18 years 5 days a week and anything smelled good after that.
Klopklop good luck training those ladies Have you tried a cover over the nest boxes? Mine seem to like them covered.
Blanch... After what you pay for granite they better fix it. I hope they do. When I put the granite in the kitchen here, I did everything except the granite. I would have liked to have tried it but I figured it was too expensive for me to screw up on. I even paid the extra for them to measure it. I got it from St. Augusta near St. Cloud. I have a granite back splash on a portion that had to fit between two different coutnertops levels (kitchen and bar countertop heights) they screwed that up and ended up having to recut a piece and refit it back in. They tried to force a piece in and cracked it in two.
I did put the granite in the bathroom myself, even measured it myself, but that was only a few hundred dollars and not as expensive as the kitchen was. Good luck on all of that.
My joints hurt less today so hopefully, I can get some winterization things done today, but the DW is off work, so that normally means I will be doing what she wants and not what I want... For being the head of the household, I sure feel more like the grunt than the boss a lot.
