[QUOTE="somn, post: 467607, member: 3721"] Stocker Steve that $25 dollars per ton on that silage you speak of is priced almost identical to corn. The most commonly used ratio of corn to silage is 7 to 1. 7 bushels of corn will yield 1 ton of silage so this particular corn yielded 50 bpa. 50 bushels divided by 7 bushels would be 7.14 tons of silage per acre. 7.14 tons x $25 per ton = $178.50 50 bushels of corn at $3.50 = $175.00. The two methods are within $3.50 of each other on per acre gross revenue. The two will always go hand in hand. Unless of course your name is mnmtranching then all logic goes out the window. He claims a 12 to 1 ratio. But on his farm roundup also wears off so consider the source. [/QUOTE]
