Corn Noted as Heritage Material in Iowa Silage Survey
A Iowa survey by the Dairy Herd Improvement Associations cites extension dairyman Floyd Johnston of Iowa State College. The 1938 and 1940 studies show farmers doubled alfalfa sweet clover soybeans and non-legume crops put in silos over two years. One in five silos in 1940 used crops other than corn for ensilage. For best results legumes and grasses should be ensiled just before hay cut. Preservatives like molasses corn grain or acids help preserve nutrients if moisture is off.
