Grass cannot be stored, as Noraf wrote you will have to turn it into hay. Gras becomes drygrass (looks like the hay in the basegame), when the moisture is below 20% or if you ted it. then it will have to dry to become hay (yellowish).

There are a lot of mod silos where you can store grass also, eventhough it`s not realistic.

Alien Jim has a silo in the Modhub that stores practically everything, but like Tobi said it’s not very realistic. Just curious what are you trying to keep plain grass for?

Probably for cows. I remember in 17 when you would feed them grass in the winter the production was insane, you would also get way more manure which was nice because you could spread it right after winter.

In seasons you can feed them silage, hay or tmr in the winter.

They don`t need grass. They always eat the best available food, If you give them TMR, they only eat that. This gives you also the best productivity / health.

Cows do not need all tree food bars filled, one is enough, they only eat the best food, so if you have hay or silage and grass, they will only eat the hay/silage until it's empty and then switch to grass.

Any "multifruit silo" should

I've never tried it personally but if you have it in bales under a shed with seasons mask will grass keep or not?

That is explained in the manual.

https://www.realismusmodding.com/mods/s ... play/grass

Grass bales will gradually rot and disappear after two days, unless they are wrapped so that they become silage bales. Wrapped bales do not turn into silage immediately, but instead need some time to ferment. It takes one third of a season (1 period) to fully ferment either a silage bale.

The only way to keep grass from rotting is in a multifruit silo. I store grass if my silage clamps are full. But thats rare.
