Corn stover management and feeding impacts
The piece notes that corn stover not reduced by machinery and fed in a barn is not fully consumed. It absorbs liquid manure and when returned to fields can replenish nutrients removed by the crop. It argues no gain from cutting or shredding if the farmer leaves some corn and consumes more than his stock.
