On account of the long
growing season in the
State it is possible on
any well regulated farm
in Central or Southern
Georgia to grow all the
silage material neces
sary on ground from
which a small grain
crop has been harvested.
Many make a practice
of putting in silage corn
early, in order to be
ready to put into the
silo in August when
farm work is not rush
ing, but it is becoming
common for silage to be
grown on lands follow
ing a small grain crop.
In this way much more
intensive use is made of
the land. Silos are not
as plentiful in Georgia
as they should be but
this demand is taxing
manufacturers' ability
to supply.
