Tell us more about what you're talking about. Is it true, field chopped, whole corn plant with ear, material to be packed and ensiled, or some low quality by product from a sweet corn cannery? We used to raise NK199 sweet corn for silage on farm program idle acres years ago when the farm programs allowed it. It didn't yield with field corn silage for tonnage, but made very good quality, very highly palatable silage for beef cattle. The last year we did that, we planted half the field to forage sorghum, the other half to sweet corn, and mixed the two together as we chopped. Made great silage, increased tonnage over straight sweet corn, much cheaper to raise and irrigate, made a good crop off of IDLE acres. Most silage in this area is piled and packed on top of the ground, a few folks have concrete bunkers or bunkers cut into a hillside, upright silos are non-existent here. The bagged silage is excellent feed, but not cost effective in the majority of operations.
