Drought, hot winds, hail, or frost can not totally destroy your crop if you have a silo. If often happens that a severe hail storm will ruin the grain, but still leave enough forage to make a fairly good silage crop. The largest expense connected with the live stock is business the Feed bill.

The silo will not only cut this in two, but will also reduce the labor of feeding and insure a food supply throughout the year. The silo solves the pasture question, for ensilage is the best known substitule for grass. Pasturing high priced land means either a loss or a very poor investment. At least six times more feed can be produced if the land is put into silage corn. A silo for both winter and summer will give the best results and will make the greatest profit to the stock keeper.

Compare your position with your neighbor who is feeding from a Silo. His feed is always ready for use in the most palatable and convenient form. He don't have to expose himself in the zero weather hauling in corn fodder which has lost most of its feeding value. His cattle are thriving, his profits increasing, how are yours?
