Silage Value For Brouth-Damaged Corn Urged At Hey Day
H J Gramlich of the University of Nebraska told Iowa State College cattle feeders that brouth damaged corn silage is worth about five dollars a ton as winter feed. Tests show it delivers about three quarters the value of normal silage for fattening beef, and farmers should consider buying cattle to use the silage. He predicted 5 to 6 tons ensilage per acre and noted a possible grain-fed cattle shortage this winter with potential price support if spring 1935 levels recur.
