TIL. Apparently the farmers in my parents area are a bit more picky. They made hay for the horses, and silage for the cows. The pigs get slop, grain, and any bio-trash that's available.
Oh yeah, I forgot that silage bunkers exist. Again not used in the area I grew up in. I don't know why. I don't use them in Farming Simulator, because they are buggy as shit, and the bales and silos aren't.
Edit: also, 2500 TONS‽‽ are you Australian? That must be an absolutely enormous farm.
Canadian. Actually, it's what I would say is a small to medium sized farm, we have about 350 cows which is about average for cattle operations around here, but we also do about 2000 ac of grain production as well, canola/barley/oats/peas.
You'd probably have seen a lot of corn silage in the US, which is rare here, corn takes too many heat days for us, though of course that's changing. We will do barley or oats into silage in August, besides a round of hay silage at this time of year.
