Chopping corn

[bmoore87]

Bigfoot do u plan on covering it up? I have thought about getting some chopped but never have done it. I put out 5 acres every year but I jut pick mine but this year corn is cheap and hay is high so chopping it would be the best bet. Let me know how it works out for u might try it next year.

Just gonna let it sit like that. A couple of locals have done it that way a couple of years now. They seemed to have only lost a few inches at the top, and some on the ground of course. I'm not sure on a dry matter basis, how economical it is. I do know there are several tons of feed there for not many $$$$.

Cheap way to cover is to plant oats on it. You do loose quit a bit of dry matter in an uncovered pile depending on how tightly it is packed but if you made the silage cheap it might be worth the loss over buying covers.
