    if u leave it out in pile for a few weeks it might rot down better and then spread it out and put slurry on top of it

    Why not leave it piled up until after the silage is cut? No danger of it contaminating the silage then.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Id be very slow to put this years fym on silage ground now.
    I would doubt, it would be rotten enough to go into the ground.

    will be slow to breakdown in the winter but come a bit of heat and nature's bugs will soon consume it.

    would have spread as late as early April on silage ground for cutting in mid June with no waste.
