Farm Safety Check: Silage Storage

Summary

Silage is vital to the cattle industries. The smell of silage on any cattle operation brings a sense of habitual chore time activities. However, silage bunkers and silos have unique hazards, like silo gas, dust that may contain mold, avalanches, falls, and more. During the silo fermentation process lethal gasses are produced. This is especially dangerous in confined areas like around silo rooms. Take precaution during crop production, during ensiling, and when working with silage to keep everyone on the farm safe.
