    Making silage

    Making silage

    Silage is preserved pasture. Making silage is an important way for farmers to feed cows and sheep during times when pasture isn't good, such as during times of drought. Your students can make silage at school by following the instructions on this information sheet. They can also try different variations to see the effect they have on silage.
