Ear Corn Silage Rated High by Iowa Farmers
Iowa farmers rate ear corn silage highly as a safe silage option for saving wet corn, with temporary silos of flat cribbing or welded fencing lined with moisture proof paper. Silos are kept low and narrow for easy feeding, water is added to reach about 55 percent moisture, and ensilage cutters aid filling. Beekeeping and fruit grower groups also report leadership changes and elections during two day sessions.
