What does silage additive do fs22?
Provides a 5% yield increase. You can purchase a pallet of silage additive in the shop and load it into select trailed forage wagons and each of the forage harvesters will also accept it. Forage harvester should use it for cutting chaff, and forage wagons should use it when picking up grass.
What is the difference between silage and hay?
Good hay is more palatable than silage due to the high sugar content and the reduced protein breakdown. The breakdown of hay in the rumen also results in a more synchronised release of energy and protein.
How long does silage last?

When should I cut silage?

How long does it take to make silage?
Why is silage cut at night?
Sheeting at night helps cut silage losses between clamping and feeding out. The average clamp loses about 25%, or one load in every four put in, but the best silage makers keep losses down to 8%-10%, one load in every 10 or 12. Mr Edmunds advises doing a few loads less a day to leave time to put the sheet on.
