cut for silage, stalks are being used as bedding.
I nor my brother who manages the farm have livestock. He used to have cows, but now he likes to take vacations to visit his daughters and cows are too much trouble to leave alone. All pasture land is rented out.

The harvester my brother has (I don't know the brand but it's red) does not have a rear-spreader for the residue. The exit chute is pointed down and there is a row of chisles and small disk wheels attached to the end of the chute. There is no other implement attached to the back, although you can attach a wagon to the side, but in practice another guy drives a truck along side the harvester to receive the product, or it is just stored in the harvester and transfered to a wagon when it fills up.

A theoretical farming question for you and TP. New urbanists mourn every acre of farm land turned into housing for people. They say once it's paved over, the farm land is lost forever. But is it?

Theoretically, could you take say a Chicago suburb, tear down the houses, pull up the roads and turn it back into farm land?
