CCE Herkimer and the CNY Regional Dairy, Field Crop and Livestock Team have scheduled several on-farm Corn Silage Pre-Harvest meetings to help get farmers up to speed on the latest research-backed strategies that can be put to work on their dairies. Covered will be optimum harvest timing, kernel processing scoring, particle size, recent research on fiber digestibility, what effect this year's weather will have on fiber digestibility, bunker silo packing and optimal fermentation. Also discussed will be late season leaf diseases that always crop up at the end of the season, weed control and nitrogen management.
There is no charge for attending, but we ask that you preregister so we can be ready at each location and can contact you in the unlikely event of cancellation or rescheduling. Deadline to register is the day before each event.
