Chopping silage during rapid drying conditions always bring up the question of “How much water do I add?” The short answer: It is practically impossible to add enough to get to your desired moisture level. 

To add one point of moisture for each ton of silage you would need to add seven gallons. For example, if the silage was 55% moisture, you would need to add 70 gallons of water per ton of silage. That would calculate out to be 16,520 gallons of water for a 9’x200’ silage bag.
