Disadvantages of Stack Silo. 



1. The decay is very often considerable. 



2. There is greater loss by evaporation, as four 

 sides are exposed to the air, and the ensilage is 

 therefore likely to be less succulent. 



3. Unless well thatched, it is liable to injury 

 from rain. 



4. It does not pack so satisfactory, or exclude 

 air when being built. 



N.B. When feeding a stack silo do not forget 

 to commence using it from the end and not from 

 the top, thus only removing the weight from the 

 portion immediately required.
