Silos are used in agriculture to store fermented feed commonly known as silage. During the fermentation process, lactic acid bacteria convert sugars in the forage into lactic acid, creating a stable and preserved feed
Earlier silos were made of stone or concrete either above or below ground, but it is was recognized that silo wrap reflective film can sufficiently excluded air by tightly pressing the stuck together
Common foods that are fermented using the silo wrap are alfaalfa,oats,grass,corn,corn cob mix,sugar beet.The time required for the fermentation depends on Forage, moisture content, and the specific fermentation process used.
Silo wraps assist in blocking oxygen, air and moisture penetration thus increasing the nutritional value of the feed Silo Wrap's Reflective film reduces heat build-up and is treated to resist UV rays for up to 13 months
The Silo wrap can be suited to the color you would desire and offers the option of transportation, easy selling and easy storage

then later on you have the silo wrapping machine do the thingy, roll the silo into a cylindrical truck(Bailing) and places a net around
Wrapping is the last process through the Sileage wrapping machine
A bale wrapper is a farm implement for wrapping bales in plastic, for them to turn into silage Bale wrappers come in three main forms - turntable type, satellite type and in-line.
It causes mostly soil compaction from the loaders and trailers, though saves less time
Of course the price of equipment is up accordingly, making it almost impossible for any small family farms to participate
The advancements in farming technology are incredible, but it's unfortunate that smaller farms struggle to keep up due to the high costs involved.
It reduces storage and loading and offloading cost as no need for indoor storage
