Dan is on the dump truck depositing cut hay at the bunker. This is the horizontal storage system for the feed that the cows eat. A tractor will come along and push the feed up the small mound already behind the truck, compressing the grasses and pressing out air that would cause spoilage. When we are finished, we will top the entire thing with black plastic and old tires. Safer and more economical than upright silo storage, but not so pretty to look at, which is why it is located behind the barns.
In case you were wondering, most of our lands are outlying, 10 miles or less; we use a large truck instead of tractors or wagons and pickups (and many drivers) to get the job done in a timely fashion.
