NEW LOW-COST WAY TO SEAL AND STORE
FEED STUFFS EFFECTIVELY
Nutritionists, cattlemen and dairymen agree
seated storage is the way to get the most from
feedstuffs.
But, sealed silos are costly... and immovable!
Now, you can seal and store silage and high
moisture grains in low-cost plastic bags ...
wherever you wish ... and retain maximum feed
quality, quickly converted to more milk per cow
or extra beef per pound of feed for faster, more
profitable gains.
You also can reap an extra harvest in added
benefits.
The Eberhardt Silopress has been used suc
cessfully in Western Europe for seven years,
It's new in America...but catching on fast!
Compare this new concept with the system
you’re using now. Consider the benefits, ad
vantages and flexibility. And also consider the
cost.
Then, put a Silopress to work for you!

sity of the feedstuff being handled. Bags are readily
available.
■ Highly mobile, the Silopress is equipped with transport
wheels and converts quickly to tow position with an
