Plan to Plant: Prepare Yourself To Prepare Your Soil
Quality corn silage begins from the ground up. Soil fertility, nutrient loss management and hybrid selection are key in developing a strategy for success that begins long before the seed ever enters the ground.
Plan to Grow: Take the Time To Time It All Out
Yield and quality should be top of mind when growing corn silage. Corn silage is typically at its maximum yield and quality potential just after 50% kernel milk, according to Joe Lauer, Ph.D., extension specialist in corn agronomy, University of Wisconsin.
Plan to Harvest: Don’t Cut Corners on Cutting
Harvesting quality silage takes careful planning as weather, chopping height and storage can impact forage nutrients.
Plan to Feedout: Spoilage Can Spoil All Your Hard Work
Instability can cause silage to heat and spoil, affecting dry matter intake and ultimately leading to an undesirable feed.
Silage additives are tools that can be used to help improve the fermentation process once basic harvest management and silage packing techniques are in place.
