Here the tractors are compressing the foraged crop in the silage clamp forcing the oxygen out. It will then be covered with plastic so it can be ensiled (basically pickled) which preserves it. It (the silage) can then be fed into the AD Plant over the next 12 months to produce electricity.
The Start of Renewable Energy
The beautiful weather last week came just at the right time for the harvest to start of our energy crop to produce renewable energy for Blisworth Farm AD plant and Blisworth Farm Offices.
The crop, which is Rye, is out and will be left to wilt for a couple of days
