Abstract

"Silage is the harvest of whole corn plants at 60% to 70% moisture. Optimal harvest occurs when kernels are between the ½ milk line and the black layer. Corn silage can be made from corn planted for silage or as a grain crop. Farmers have several reasons for reconsidering their harvest method. For example, they or a neighbor may have a need for silage that was not anticipated at planting time, or drought may have reduced grain yields substantially so that the value of the crop is greater as silage than as grain." -- first page
