Excerpt from The Silo and Silage
A silo is simply an air-tight, water-tight box, in which green, succulent herbage may be placed and preserved as we preserve green fruit. It must not only preserve the contents from the air, but also protect against frost.
Silage - ensilage is a less acceptable term for the same sub stance - is the material that has been preserved in the silo.
