Background Information
For many years transportation of silage has been a big challenge due to the loss of nutritional value when exposed to heat during loading, transportation and storage after being transferred from the bunkers.
Feed & Fodder with the new baling technology wraps fresh maize (direct at harvest time) or ensiled silage in bunkers. The maize is chopped into a good size, well crushed, compacted and wrapped in 340kgs and 60kgs approximate bales, but the weight may be more or less depending on the dry matter levels of the silage. A bale with higher dry matter will be lighter in weight and one with lower dry matter heavier due to the higher moisture content in the silage.
Our initial production was on March 23rd 2018 after the arrival of the Multi baler in February 2018. We are working in partnership with farmers who grow maize in large scale whom we contract to grow maize on our behalf.
