Turning Green Crops into Livestock Feed at Karamoja Farm

At Karamoja Farm, YeshuaLife is processing green crops such as maize and grasses into silage, creating a reliable source of nutritious feed for livestock.The crops are harvested and chopped into small pieces while still fresh and moist, ideally at around 60% to 70% moisture. The chopped material is then tightly compacted in silos, pits, or heavy-duty silage bags to remove trapped air and create the conditions needed for proper preservation. Through this process, fresh green crops can be stored and preserved as valuable livestock feed for use when fresh pasture and feed are limited. Silage processing at Karamoja Farm is helping strengthen livestock production, make better use of locally grown crops, and support more sustainable and resilient farming through YeshuaLife.
