🌽Considering corn for silage this year?
The hot, dry conditions across North Dakota are leaving some producers weighing whether to harvest their corn for grain or chop it for silage. With potential feed shortages due to drought, knowing the value of a standing corn crop is an important part of that decision.
NDSU Extension has updated resources to help producers evaluate their options, including a corn silage publication and an Excel-based silage decision tool where you can plug in your own numbers from your operation.
