Silage as a remedy for Iowa hay shortages this winter
Dairymen facing scarce hay are urged to cut more corn for silage. Floyd Arnold of Iowa State College says hay is 28 percent below last year and about a third under the 10 year average due to drought and reduced acres. He advises using corn fodder as silage, planning for 5 tons per mature cow, and considers trench or upright temporary silos to boost roughage supplies.
