Why choose one great silage characteristic when you can have them all?
Many silage products boast only one quality of the plant, such as fiber digestibility, grain yield or kernel type. Chances are that the other characteristics of these hybrids were bred for grain. The best silage products have been bred to achieve total plant silage qualities. Expect more from your silage crop. Plant a Leafy or Floury Leafy Corn Silage Hybrid.
