FORAGE FERMANTATION AND STORAGE AID

SILO MAXX SPECIAL

Sa�sed Customer Ma� Houmes and his father, Bryan farm 700 acres of alfalfa hay both conven‐�onally and organically near Veedersburg, IN which is in the west central part of the state. They produce 3’ X 4’ big square bales usually between 20% and 50% moisture depending on their target market. They stand behind their bales so problems like moldy, dusty and faded bales must be prevented.

The Houmes’ have used preserva�ves for over 15 years, star�ng with the market leader. They had pre�y good success with that product, however they began looking for a product that could do as good of a job, but at a much more palatable price. Eventually, their search found Silo Maxx Special. They have now used Silo Maxx Special for about 3 years and have very li�le hay that had to be replaced to the farmer and they are trea�ng at less than half the cost! Silo Maxx has stood out over the rest in the par�cularly difficult task of preserving large square bales at modest moistures.
