We all know the importance of a well-managed silage stockpile for our dairy herds. But let's face it, times are changing. Finding reliable labor can be a real challenge these days. Whether you're struggling to find enough workers or relying on outside covering services, silage covering can be a time-consuming and labor-intensive job.
The Family Farm and Beyond
Traditionally, family farms relied on their own folks to get the work done. But as times have changed, many farmers are looking for ways to do more with less. Automation has helped in many areas, with milking robots and automated feeders taking over some of the heavy lifting.
However, silage covering remains a task that often requires a good crew. Some areas have seen a rise in custom covering companies, which can be a lifesaver for busy dairy farmers. Still, even these companies face struggles finding enough workers to keep up with demand.
Finding Efficiency in a Labor-Strained Market
Smaller farms and those in areas without established covering services might resort to creative solutions like student work crews. But even then, organizing and managing a crew adds another layer of complexity.
Here at Silostop, we understand the challenges you face. That's why we developed Silostop Complete – a one-step solution designed to save you both time and money on silage covering.
