silage
Pickled cattle feed
Silage is fodder—grass, corn, or other green crops—preserved through fermentation in an airtight structure called a silo.
The process, similar to pickling, keeps the feed nutritious through winter when fresh grazing isn't available.
Farmers chop silage or put up silage during harvest season.
The verb ensile means to convert crops into silage.
