Better Prepared! Sorghum Silage Prepares Goat Raisers For El Niño

While North Cotabato has not been included in the list of provinces which would be adversely affected by the long drought or El Niño, I am not taking any chances.
This early, we are chopping Sorghum stalks which we gather after harvest and dump these in a bunker which will be covered with canvas to initiate a fermentation process.
This will assure us of readily available silage for our goats even if the drought would turn the green grass to brown.
This is what makes Sorghum farming a more practical option especially for farmers who also raise Carabao, Cattle, Goats and Sheep.
After harvest, the Sorghum stalks and leaves remain green with considerable moisture making these ideal materials for silage making.
One hectare of Sorghum stalks and leaves could produce silage enough to feed 50 to 100 heads of goats in 1 year.
So, come what may, we have enough silage to feed our goats and are better prepared for any eventuality.
