The end of this video shows feeding the silage to a herd of cows.

No use of barns or hay lofts!

Store the silage in silos or on the ground covered with plastic.

Scale is nicely large: In total for the one farm, to store on the ground, cover an area maybe the size of a football field, 100 yards by 40 yards, maybe 10 feet deep.

All of that is in productivity per person way above what I saw as a child or young adult in visits to US farms.
