Corn silage cited to utilize diverted acres in North Dakota
North Dakota agronomists advocate corn as silage to build feed reserves and improve weed control. Over 46 years at Dickinson the crop averaged 3% tons of silage per acre with only hail as a failure. Corn needs less moisture per pound of dry matter than small grain or hay. Also noted, Capper's Farmer claims the first professional race track in America was built in 1754 near Wetumpka Alabama and owned by Charles Weatherford.
