Abstract

POSSIBLY one of the more spectacular farming innovations of recent years has been vacuum silage. Encouraged by one of the wettest and most growth-promoting summers in living memory, it captured the imagination of the farming community in West Otago and Southland last season. Eighty-thousand tons of silage were made last summer compared with 3,000 tons in the same area the previous year.
