The man who developed the method in New Zealand, Mr. Jean demonstrated putting Doutre, up vacuum packed silage. A small stack of silage previously packed will also be opened for view and discussion. With this new method they chop the forage, haul it and stack it when it has wilted to about 70 percent moisture. The stack is enclosed in a huge plastic bag that is sealed. out said.
