Shep,

I don't know how it would work for a maze,
but if want to make a lot of good silage ,plant
a bushel of black wilson soy beans and a half
bushel of the medium height sorgum . That will
give you more and better silage than corn.Do not
use the yellow beans ,they don't make tonnage.
Neighbor always raised corn for silo and we
always had beans and sorgum, he would make 2
rounds around the field to get a load and I
got 2 loads to a round .I chopped it with a
gehl chopper with a direct cut grass head and
a 730 case diesel,that is a low gear operation.
Sorgum would grow to minimum of 5 feet tall to
12 feet in the lower fields and the beans in
it would be 4 to 5 feet tall and thick enough
that you absolutely could not walk thru it .
Here in Md if you planted it in may it would be
ready for silo by the first of sept .We filled
a trench silo with at least 400 tons a year plus
what we chopped green to feed the herd every
day. Raised a little sudex once in a while ,
poor feed compared to the other.
