Corn Silage Harvest Data for Proven Field Performance

Latham Seeds gives farmers in Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota and South Dakota corn silage harvest data. This helps them make decisions about planting and harvesting.

This data comes from years of testing corn hybrids in real farm conditions. It helps farmers see how well a hybrid will grow, how moisture it will have, how healthy the plants are and how good the feed will be.

Latham’s corn silage program uses corn hybrids that can be used for either silage or grain. This gives farmers options and helps them manage risk when it’s time to harvest. These hybrids grow well. Make good feed, which means better food for animals and more money for the farmer.

• Harvest data includes information like:
• How much corn is grown
• How much moisture is in the corn
• How much energy the corn has

This helps farmers compare different hybrids and see how they do in different places and during different growing seasons. This way they can make decisions based on what’s happening in their own fields.

By using long-term data on how corn silage grows Latham helps farmers pick hybrids that do well in the Midwest. This means farmers can get more done, have food for their animals and know what to expect from year to year. Corn silage is what helps farmers feed their animals and Latham Seeds helps them do it better.

Why is silage harvest data important?

Farmers need this information. It helps them pick corn types that really work well on their land. This means they can get food for their animals and be more sure of how much they will get.

Farmers use corn silage harvest data to choose the corn hybrids.

These hybrids give feed and reliable yields.

What metrics are used in silage trials?

The metrics used in silage trials are things like silage tonnage per acre and silage moisture content and silage fiber digestibility and silage energy value for livestock feed.

Can all corn hybrids be used for silage?

Many corn hybrids are good for more than one thing but some corn hybrids are specifically made for silage production and, for silage forage quality.
