2019 Corn Silage Pre-Harvest Meeting ~ Schuylerville

August 28, 2019


We will cover optimum harvest timing, kernel processing scoring, particle size, and recent research on fiber digestibility. In particular we will look at silage quality and yield, harvest and silo management of corn that is late planted and will be frosted before harvest. We'll also discuss late season leaf diseases that always crop up at the end of the season, weed control, and nitrogen management.
