I have been around cow farming and cow farming types for several years and I always heard silage.

if a doctor intubates a covid 19 patient is that patient a tubated patient or an intubated patient? use your heads here, people.

I don't think that I'll ever have a need to use either. Maybe if it comes up on Jeopardy.

Well, as a gentuhlman farmah mahself, I must declare that I do only pronounce it in the proper fashion--ensilage--as opposed to the vulgar diminutive form so lately adopted by the low people.

sys, no one ever says ensilage. I don't know why you think that is debateable. I have heard lots of folks call something like sileage "feed" however. I don't know what it is, it just looks like grassy corn and it's really tall but it doesn't have any corn. maybe it is corn just cut way early but I don't think that's what it is

Usually corn is cut for when corn ears are small and will not produce a good corn crop. Also, some of the corn is a type planted for the purpose of cutting into silage/ensilage. This is the type that grows tall with large stalks and small ears. And yes it is cut when the crop is still green but ears are mature. BTY, ensilage is ground/chopped sorghum, milo or corn. Sorghum is sugar cane. Milo with poor heads are usually chopped/ground into ensilage. Ensilage is the product of the fermented crop that is feed to cattle. Cattle love it and it fattens them for butcher.

BTY, this is also a product of sorghum. http://www.savorypantry.com/product/pure-cane-sorghum-syrup/honey-syrup?sid=bing_shopping&msclkid=8d05a9aa626218a02581f722d59d6e3f&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Bing%20Shopping(BSC)&utm_term=1101601960900&utm_content=Ad%20group%20%231

If you read the description, you'll notice why cattle love it and it fattens them for butcher.

Glad to see SD agrees with my dad that ben ji's dad would be a better farmer than my uncle.

#GoatRanch2021?

Goats are a good idea. They will eat all the weeds on your place and stay around as long as they got something to eat. Don't bother to fence them as barb wire won't work. Will need a tall chain link, which is quite expensive.

If you're into Bbq, goat meat is very lean. Only problem is they look like a large dog when cooked whole as in a pit. You'll have ppl question what it is at parties.
