This podcast covers practices and principles necessary to achieve high quality silage with an emphasis on how to manage the portion of the 2019 silage crop that was planted late and will be harvested as an immature corn plant.
Immature corn silage will not have the grain and starch content of conventional corn silage. Producers will need to carefully monitor plant moisture before harvest and possibly consider a cut and wilt rather than field chop harvest method.
