An odorless, colorless,
invlsible-and costly
forage thief!
You can't see it--and you can't stop it. Storage losses in forage can
steal your valuable crop--how much is lost depends upon how you
store your feed:
• Tower Silos have Up to 8% loss*
• Bunkers have Up to 45% loss**
If the average difference in feed lost between tower silos and
bunkers is 30%, then storage of 1000 tons will mean 300 tons
MORE lost in a bunker. If silage is valued at $3O per ton, the
additional losses from bunker storage would be $9OOO a year.
For information on losses for all types of crop storage methods,
contact the Crop Storage Institute for your free copy of" Methods
of Crop Storage" and "Know the Facts."
