2018 Corn Silage Pre-Harvest Meeting ~ Sprakers
August 27, 2018We will cover optimum harvest timing, kernel processing scoring, particle size, recent research on fiber digestibility, what effect this year's dry weather will have on corn silage quality and yield, bunker silo packing and optimal fermentation. We'll also discuss late season leaf diseases that always crop up at the end of the season, weed control, and nitrogen management.
