The clamp must be cleaned ready for the new crop. All traces of the previous year's silage are removed and any matter that might rot and cause spoilage is removed. The floor of the clamp must be watertight or else highly polluting fluids might leak out. A fresh plastic sheet is prepared and weighted down with old tyres - This will be the waterproof cover and it must not have any holes or the crop may be ruined.
