Farmers beware of silo gas
GUELPH - The Farm Safety As-
sociation recommends that farmers
take extreme care this fall when
filling silos. Variable growing con-
ditions in some areas of Ontario
may have created a situation where
silo gas may be more of a problem
this year than others. Climatic con-
ditions play a large role in the for-
mation of deadly silo gas, and
weather conditions this summer
have caused some farm safety ex-
perts to issue warnings concerning
the las.
Silo gas or nitrogen dioxide is
produced as a by-product of the fer-
mentation process that takes place
once plant material is put into a
silo. A variety of climatic stresses
on the plant material during the
growing season can dramatically
increase the possibility of toxic gas-
es forming. To avoid silo gas, farm-
ers are advised not to harvest crops
immediately after a rainfall. Con-
versely, crops damaged by hail or
frost should be harvested as quickly
as possible to avoid build-up of ex -
cess nitrate in the plant material. If
weather or other factors have in-
creased the possibility of nitrate
build-up, plant material should be
cut higher than normal, as excess
nitrates are stored in the lower por-
tion of corn stalks.
Silo gas may be visible within a
few hours after silo filling and may
be recognized by a bleach -like
odour and may be visible as a yel-
lowish -brown haze. Dead flies or
birds at the base of the silo may
also be an indicator of the gas.
