silage

Lots of grass has been cut and is in for silage.

Three years ago, Steinmetz photographed her silage corn and received a rare lunch invitation.

Now, the fields are green again, but as Mr Curtis takes me out in his tractor, he has a bale of silage on the front.

With no livestock to feed, the acreage now used to grow silage and hay could be replaced with food crops.

Maintenance of the lion is one of several volunteer taster events at the zoo, which include making silage and helping with maintenance in the elephant enclosure.
