UW-Extension to Hold Corn Silage Field Day Next Week
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 08/28/2019
A corn silage field day is being planned for next week near Lena. The focus of the September 5 event will be corn silage harvest and usage, along with forage management best practices.
UW-Madison Extension Agronomist Dr. Joe Lauer will discuss post-mortem of the 2019 corn planting and growing season and how it will impact corn silage harvest. Shawano Ag Agent Kimberly Kassube will then lead a discussion on the dairy cow's
perspective of 2019 corn silage and how our management practices may impact cow performance. Included will be such aspects as working with low starch corn silage, kernel processing, and other factors.
The final portion of the program will feature corn silage harvest planning assistance opportunities in the area, along with a discussion of other forage species' management. Both perennial and overwintering annual forages are going to need to have optimum
management this fall so that they can best meet the quality and yield goals which will be needed in 2020.
The event starts at noon. A $5 registration fee includes lunch and handouts.
For more information, contact the Marinette Extension office at 715-732-7510.
