Save more of your quality feed with SiloStop® The original easy to seal stack management system
“Switching to SiloStop® has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our silage and peace of mind”. Says Ray and Jen Wiegersma. “Before we invested in SiloStop®, we dreaded covering the stacks, especially when it meant hauling all those tyres. Even when we covered every inch with tyres, we would still lose a lot of the top layer to spoilage, no matter how carefully we did it. Now, with SiloStop® ‘s oxygen barrier film and UV covers, it’s a different story—no more wasted feed, and we’re preserving much more of the high-quality feed we worked so hard to grow. ”The system does what it says. It keeps the air out and holds up to the challenging Northland environment. “It is also easy to work with—we no longer dread covering the stack after milking so much so that we joke with Nick Waihi, our local Northland Area Manager that we don’t need him to help cover the stack.
According to the Weigersma’s, they used to spend way too much time dealing with the cover and then dealing with spoilage later. Now, they just lay down the SiloStop® Orange oxygen barrier, cover it with the Silostop® UV sheet, secure it with a couple of rows of gravel bags, and it stays in place without tearing or breaking down. “It’s very easy” says Ray.
They also believe the the quality of the feed is better, which means their livestock are healthier and happier. Jen continues “It’s saved us both time and money—something every farmer appreciates. If you want to protect your feed and make life easier, SiloStop® is worth it.”
