Listen Now
One can argue that IOFC (income over feed cost) begins when forage is delivered to the feed center – in this case, the bunk. This podcast series delves into the practical considerations for corn silage harvest. We start with a recap of the growing season in the first episode. In subsequent episodes, we focus on the key practices for harvest, storage and preservation.
Ron Kuck, Dairy Educator, CCE of Cayuga County and Joe Lawrence, Forage Management Specialist, Cornell CALS PRO-DAIRY kick off this podcast series by discussing the 2020 growing season. They discuss the impact weather has had on the growing season and what to consider when assessing fields, staging harvest, whole plant DM in decision making, storage planning and what to do if you’re short of space.
