With the autumn season in full swing, it is time to harvest corn for animal feed at T-PIRC farm. The corn kernels, stalks, and leaves that had grown large during the summer in the feed field near the barn were harvested using a corn harvester, chopped into small pieces, and transported to silos where they were compacted. About a month later, lactic acid fermentation will produce high-quality silage, which will be used as feed for the cows on T-PIRC farm.
