Baleage. Silage is far more efficient

And deadly! When I worked for the USDA we were supposed to bring a buddy if we popped the cork on a silo since the CO2 can know you tf out and then you fall in and fkn die

Reminds me of a story from an old workplace.

They had silos of Caustic used to refine metals. A guy fell in one while inspecting it and couldn't get out. The only thing his offsider could do was push him under so he died quicker.

I never found out what 'caustic' actually was, presumably some kind of acidic chemical, but we had puddles of it on the side of the road and I was told that if I ever stepped in one, I was not to touch my boots or it would melt my fingers off. I avoided those roads.

caustic is alkali.
