Corn silage expansion boosts Manitoba Eastern Region farming
The Manitoba Eastern Region advances corn silage adoption for beef and dairy feeding. Through the Corn Planter Program over 300 farmers seeded 500 plus acres in three years, aided by the Eastern Corn Growers Society with demonstrations and seed donations from Pride, Maple Leaf Seed, Imperial Seed, Warwick Seed, Cargill Seed, and Coop Seed. Demonstrations show 20 varieties maturing within regional heat units, yielding about 3 tons of dry matter per acre. Field days are planned. weed control and ensiling methods are shared, while some farmers report higher beef per acre and lower costs per pound of gain when combined with alfalfa hay.
