Cut Silage Corn Close to Ground Says Gunderson
Iowa State extension entomologist Gunderson urges farmers to cut ensilage corn near ground this fall to kill corn borers and prevent next year’s damage. He notes late-maturing corn has heavier infestations and emphasizes removing all stalks, yielding extra silage but better seeding readiness. A homemade two knife sled cutter, about five dollars, is suggested to harvest the crop.

Adjustment of Silage Cutter Saves Power
University of Illinois agr engineering expert A L Young outlines four efficiency tips for ensilage cutters. Keep knives sharp and properly set, minimize clearance with the shear bar, and keep the blower pipe vertical. Run at moderate speeds. excessive speed wastes power and wears parts. Electric motors of five to seven and a half horsepower can satisfactorily drive small cutters with careful feeding.
