[QUOTE="ChrisB, post: 570470, member: 122"] That is the situation I had last year except I don't think the corn ever made much more than 6' tall. It still made decent silage, it just took more ground to make enough to get through the winter. We did have a problem chopping it though; the stalks were too dry and instead of being cut off, they seemed pull apart and out of the ground, lots of problems getting plugged up. At least being too dry was the conclusion we came up with, we kept adjusting the chopper and trying different things and couldn't figure anything else out. I guess I'll find out for sure in a few weeks when we give it another try. Other than the extremly wet spring we've had timely rain this year. We are a little try at the moment but the leaves haven't started curling yet on the heavy ground. I would love another inch in the next few days but even if it doesn't rain again we will have a decent crop in this area. [/QUOTE]
