At one time, I was really deep into bugs, like I call all of them, whether bacteria or yeast.
My cousin had a conversation that he was going to chop up 300 acres of corn stalks for silage for the cattle that he raises for market since the severe drought was not producing ear corn. My comment to my Dad was that my cousin needs talk to his agronomist about Lactobacillus buchneri or Lactobacillus brevis.
My comment was the Lacto would create low heat in the silage pile and make it easier for the cattle to digest. I believe that my cousin went with Lactobacillus buchneri after talking to the agronomist but either Lacto would have worked.
Pretty neat.
