In Reply to: Sweet corn silage posted by jacksonduper on February 13, 2010 at 18:48:04:
We used to plant 60 acres or so of sweet corn every year under contract with a canning company. One year, the canning rep came by to tell us they had too much sweet corn and wouldn't be picking ours. So my dad and I chopped it and put it in the silo. When we hit that section of silage the milk production dropped dramatically. My dad told a few neighbors about it but it didn't get much publicity until, a few years later, one of the largest dairy operations tried sweet corn silage. Same thing. Dramatic drop in milk production. That owner called my dad and said: "I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it for myself." For dry cows, etc. I don't know.

Feed your corn silage to the beefers and dry cows. That's all I know. We milked holsteins for 70+ years.
