[QUOTE="Rydero, post: 1691721, member: 38101"] Why do it if it's one and done? What else routinely yields 18-20 ton per acre/per year in the North? Lots of examples of grazing it without too much waste by moving a temporary electric fence every day/few days. The obstacle to grazing corn becoming mainstream around here seems to be that the producers willing to spend massive dollars per acre on inputs aren't typically the ones that are willing to mess around with moving cattle every day. Also those who justify investing that amount on the crop tend to justify spending more to have it chopped. The guy I work for talks about getting me to move temporary fence on corn ( I have experience swath grazing/moving fence on crops on my own operation) every year and so far in the end it always gets chopped. Something new/will it work?/will he get as much utilization?/will the cows do as well on it? etc. [/QUOTE]
