Forage Wagons Farming Note

Forage wagons offer an alternative to the traditional forager and silage trailer combination. Forage wagons will not suit every situation but where the silage area is in relatively close proximity to the clamp, the forage wagon system can significantly reduce your diesel usage as well as cut back on labour.

This Farming Note covers:

• Principles of the forage wagon
• Silage quality
• Cost comparisons
• Forage wagons on the market
