I have learned some new stuff from this discussion and looking on the net. I didn't know you could use a meter for moisture content.
--What I'm seeing around here is white plastic wrapped round bales in the field. I looked those up and they are balage, like what used to be grass silage I think blown into a silo.
Also there are some farms just south of here making long tubes of this balage that they feed all winter long using a small skidsteer to grab it and feed it to the dairy cattle - holsteins.
Open silos packed with chopped corn are common around here (packed with the tractor) and covered over with a tarp and tires for the winter.
