Abstract
"This guide is intended to help farmers estimate the breakeven price needed to justify harvesting a corn crop as silage rather than for grain. The estimated breakeven price of the standing crop becomes the corn farmer's lower boundary price for negotiations with a livestock producer wishing to purchase and harvest a field as silage. The value of silage delivered to storage accounts for harvest and transportation costs incurred by either the crop or livestock farmer. The livestock farmer's interest is in knowing the cost of silage (on a dry matter basis) delivered to the feed bunk, after accounting for storage losses and shrink. Livestock farmers compare silage's delivered cost per ton against costs of other feedstuffs."--First page.
