Summary
Silage cutter workers harvest and process forage crops to produce and store silage for livestock.
Description
Silage cutter workers operate silage harvesters or dedicated equipment attached to tractors to chop forage crops (such as corn or pasture grass) to the appropriate length and pack them into silos or sheet silage. During operations, they manage cutting thickness and moisture content, perform machine inspections, maintenance, cleaning, and safety management. They are also responsible for compression, sealing operations, and checking storage conditions to maintain silage quality after harvesting. The work is primarily outdoors, influenced by seasons and weather, requiring teamwork, coordination, and efficient work planning.

With stable demand in livestock and dairy farming, the need for workers continues. Even as mechanization and automation advance, personnel skilled in machine operation and maintenance will continue to be in demand.
