Split cut silage

    Do many here do the stronger paddocks say a week or 10 days earlier than say the later closed paddocks and put in the same pit?
    Is it worth the hassle of covering, then stripping pit completely and then recovering?

    Would you not put the paddocks in bales?

    I'd do bales on paddocks that are gone too strong on grazing block but this area is for mostly silage

    no only let the stronger paddock get even stronger. it your in any doubt about having enough silage for next year let it grow.

    What about having enough good quality grass for grazing. If you bale it you'll still end up with the same or more silage as it'll return

    If its a small area and you don't want to bale stripping the pit shouldn't take too long
