Farm Bureau Notes on Silage Preservatives and Corn Cultivation
Experimental results show legumes and grasses can ferment into silage without preservative if moisture is about 65 percent, with molasses as a common preservative. The latest silage methods are detailed in Circular DH-876 available free at county agents offices. Iowa State College recommends delaying corn cultivation until six to eight leaves to improve weed control and soil coverage, favoring sweeps and disks with scrapers for effective cultivation and reduced plant damage.
