Surplus Soft Corn Can Be Used To Make Silage
Farmers with soft corn surplus this fall are advised to make ear corn silage. Michigan State College expert George A. Brown recommends ear corn silage if properly processed. Hand-pick ears if no corn snapper is available, keep husks with ears, chop short, spread evenly, and seal the top with two feet of stalks. The mix should be 65 percent moisture, add water as needed. This method saves grain and allows leaves and stalks to be grazed.
