Back in the summer during the drought the talk was nitrate posining . Now we have had the rains and cant get all the hay up cause of it . Just wandering about the nitrate level in the stalk now . Has anyone turned cows in on stalks and have you had any problems ? Have not run the corn yet but plan to turn the cows in when after we do , any opinions or experence ? I am sorry if I misspelled any words .

| | Got some grass edges or waterways or the like, anything else for them to munch on? What did the corn yield, if it was good corn it will have used the nitrates; the trouble is when you fertilize for 200 bu corn & only harvested 50bu, then all that N is someplace and I'd get the stalks tested..... If you got a pretty good yield, then I'd not be too worried. --->Paul

| If you have been getting some rains lately when the corn was still growing it should have "flushed" the nitrates out. If you have concerns you could get a forage sample off to a lab and they can run it for nitrates. I ran a sample this fall on some Corn Silage that had been stressed and then rains when it finished growing. It was fine. Nitrates were way below concern threshhold.

| I really think that you will be OK. My corn was. If you are truly nervous can you collect some stalks and send them in for a forage sample?
