History
GVD Feed Covers is a family owned and operated company dedicated to providing the best quality feed covers to producers of all sizes and types at an affordable price. GVD Feed Covers was started by our family dairy farm, which provided feed covers to our neighboring farms and businesses, allowing everyone an opportunity to better pricing, trustworthy service, and the convenience of custom sizing.
In 2007, we began covering silage piles with Raven’s FeedFresh product. The results were outstanding. Just two years later in 2009, GVD Feed Covers was formed to spread the excellent results we experienced and to provide the covers locally throughout Wisconsin. Today, we offer a wide variety of silage covers to our customers in the Upper Midwest.
Silage Cover Options
We have two supplier products which we provide. In the Raven lineup, we offer FeedFresh, SealFresh, Duraskrim, Protector, and FeedPro. In the Passion Ag lineup, we offer Passion Yellow, and Passion Black and White. This variety of products allows us to accomplish one of our goals, which is to best serve and meet the needs of our customers by offering a varied range of thicknesses, sizes, strength of plastic, and oxygen barriers.
Introducing Penergetic
Recently, we have decided to venture into another product line that can potentially help with the profitability of each farm. Penergetic has a line of products that vary from manure additives, soil conditioners, and crop production stimulants (foliar feeding). With this new product line, we can better achieve yet another goal that we have established, which is to help the profitability of our customers. These new products look to improve the absorption of nutrients by the crops, leading to better feed that is available to the animals and ultimately a better return to the farm.
Proven Results
Each of the products we provide have been used and tested on our own dairy farm, giving us the opportunity to give our customers a real-life story of how the products have measured up to the claims of the manufacturer. We are honored to have partnered with our customers and look forward to continuing to build additional relationships.
Fast and efficient delivery, reliable and dependable products, and competitive pricing all help to make good quality feed. Because “Good feed doesn’t just happen, it’s planned!”

All silage/feed covers are not the same
Preventing the flow of oxygen into the silage is important because oxygen increases dry matter (DM) loss, increases the number of yeasts and molds (and the possibility of mycotoxins) and allows the growth of undesirable aerobic bacteria.
The goal should be to prevent as much oxygen from getting in the silage as possible during the entire storage and feedout periods.
It’s not just a matter of doubling up the layers of plastic either to prevent oxygen from getting through. Traditional white-on-black silage plastic with a five-mil thickness has an OTR of 1,811, while oxygen barrier film with a 1.8-mil thickness has an OTR of 29.
For comparison’s sake, it takes 60 sheets of regular plastic to equal the protection provided by one sheet of oxygen barrier film.
Information on OTR rates should be available on all silage plastics. When you make your silage plastic purchase this year, ask what the OTR is and ask to see independent laboratory test results.
The goal is to select a product that provides as close to 100 percent oxygen barrier protection as possible.
