A method for compacting silage in a silo, comprising:

• controlling a compacting vehicle via an electronic control device;
• passing over the silage deposited in the silo with the compacting vehicle;
• exerting a compacting action along a compacting path via the compacting vehicle;
• varying the compacting action of the compacting vehicle in a location-dependent manner along the compacting path by an action of the electronic control device;
• wherein varying the compacting action in the location-dependent manner includes varying, in dependence on a location along the compacting path, a velocity of the compacting vehicle or a pressure exerted by the compacting vehicle.
