silage

cardinal flower

Driving north on Route 7 yesterday, got behind a farm truck transporting a huge load of silage. As usual, it was filled to the brim without a tarp on the top. Silage rained down on the vehicles following the truck like green confetti. It seems weird to me, particularly yesterday, that here's a product that farmers have grown all summer long, and they're willing to waste a certain portion when transporting it from the field to the barn. I drove from the Rutland area to the Burlington area, and the roadsides were covered with silage the entire way.
