Silostop

Everyone should have access to the food and essentials they need.

In recognition of UN Sustainable Development Goal 2: Zero Hunger, Silostop Agri is proud to have made a donation to Trussell an anti-poverty charity and community of food banks working to end hunger in the UK.

Until no one needs a food bank to survive, Trussell provides emergency food and practical support to people facing their hardest moments. We are pleased to play a small part in supporting this important work.

Together, we can help build a future where everyone has enough for the essentials.

Retour sur la journée du 20 août grâce à la Centrale des Champs. Nous y étions là pour parler maïs, technique, et systèmes de protection d'ensilage. 🌽

Is your silage heating up? It could be a sign that valuable nutrients are being lost.

Dr. Ma. Estela Uriarte Archundia explores the connection between effective sealing and aerobic stability, explaining why keeping oxygen out is essential for protecting forage quality.

From sealing the clamp within 24 hours to using the correct overlap, uniform weighting and oxygen barrier films, good sealing practices can help limit yeast and mould growth, prevent heating, preserve valuable nutrients and reduce dry matter losses.

From field to clamp 🌽

Our Bulgarian distributors recently shared these fantastic images showing the journey of the maize crop, from growing in the field to being harvested and securely covered with Silostop Flex 60.

Designed to provide a highly effective oxygen barrier, Flex 60 helps create the conditions needed for successful fermentation while protecting the quality and nutritional value of the silage beneath.

A great result and brilliant to see Flex 60 in action in Bulgaria!

Poor maize crop? Protect every tonne 🌽🚜

With maize crops maturing earlier than expected and lower yields being reported across many areas, protecting every tonne of forage is more important than ever.

The cost of growing the crop has already been invested, making every tonne harvested more valuable. Reducing storage losses with an effective oxygen barrier can help preserve dry matter, maintain feed quality and minimise spoilage throughout the winter.

When forage stocks are under pressure, protecting what you’ve grown can make a significant difference.

Is your silage clamp ready for maize season? 🌽

A successful harvest starts before the filling begins. Taking the time to prepare your clamp now can help protect feed quality and make management easier throughout the season.

Don’t forget your clamp walls - ARK Wall Paint helps protect concrete surfaces from acidic silage effluent, creating a smoother, easier-to-clean finish while helping maintain the condition of your clamp.

Plastic-Free July: A recap 🌍♻️

This July, our team made a conscious effort to cut down on single-use plastic wherever we could. From swapping to reusable bottles and bags, to choosing loose fruit and veg over packaged options, to supporting local milk deliveries from small businesses using refillable bottles, every small swap added up.

It's a great reminder that sustainable habits don't have to be complicated: small, consistent changes can make a real difference over time.

Here's to carrying these habits forward, not just for July, but all year round! 🧡

🚜 Our Clamp Team spent a couple of days last week visiting previous customers across the Welsh Borders.

They visited clamps of all shapes and sizes, from installations that are over 10 years old to ones completed just a month ago. The silage quality was excellent throughout, with Silostop Max and Secure Covers helping to keep forage in top condition.

There's nothing quite like getting out on farm, catching up with customers and seeing our systems performing exactly as they should. It's especially rewarding to see the Ark Sloping Wall System continuing to deliver long after installation, proving its value year after year 💪.

A big thank you to everyone who welcomed us onto their farms – we always appreciate the opportunity to catch up and see how things are going. 🙌🚜
