Cherry St. 624-4429 Moisture Is Critical When Harvesting Silage During A Wet Year BROOKINGS, S.D. - With many flooded and saturated fields in South Dakota this fall, harvesting silage before corn dries past desired moisture levels or frost occurs may be a challenge for some producers. Three, four-wheel drive John Deere tractors, pushing up chopped corn silage into a drive over pile on a dairy farm. Packing is a very important part of putting up high-quality silage. Three tractors pack and push up a pile on a South Dakota dairy farm. Courtesy:Tracey Erickson Creating quality silage is most dependent on harvest plant moisture. Ideally, when chopping silage, the plant should be 32 to 38 percent dry matter. “Moisture calculation is key and given the genetics of today’s corn varieties, the relationship between milk line and plant moisture content may not always be accurate,” says Tracey Erickson, SDSU Extension Dairy Field Specialist.

Chopping Dry Silage Although not ideal for optimum feed value and storage, if a producer chooses to chop silage above 40 percent dry Why settle for just a slice … Broadcaster Press matter, there are several considerations to make: • Reduce chop length to release more plant fluids and improve packing. • Use a kernel processor to improve digestibility. The more mature the corn is, the less digestible it becomes. • Use silage inoculants to improve fermentation. Liquid inoculants may be more effective in dry silage. • If piling or using bunker silos, use extra heavy tractors for packing and pack no more than six inches at a time. • Blend wetter feeds with dry silage like forage sorghum, alfalfa, laterplanted green corn or wet distillers grains. • Place wettest forage on the top layer of the pile or horizontal bunker for sealing and weight. Adding water to the top layer of the pile may also help with this. • Another option, although time consuming, is to mix the wetter and drier feeds in a TMR wagon prior to ensiling.

Some producers have successfully used combines set to retain a 1x8 portion of the cob with the grain. Much like silage, if harvested too wet, seepage may occur and if harvested too dry, it will not pack well which causes excessive spoilage. Things to consider when chopping earlage: • Make sure every kernel is cracked and the cob portions are no larger than a thumbnail to improve pack density and digestibility. • Consider using a kernel processor to improve digestibility. • Use inoculants to improve fermentation. • If piling or using Why settle for just a slice … Broadcaster Broadcaster Pricing or Buying Feed The Silage Earlage Decision Aid is available for help pricing silage or earlage in South Dakota.

What to watch for If silage is too wet when harvested, there is a risk of butyric acid forming and nutrients being lost due to seepage. Silage that is over 70 percent moisture should not be harvested and should stand in the field for a few more days. On the other hand, if it is too dry, silage will not ferment or pack adequately, resulting in mold development. “In addition, flooded corn can 100% ofmany When contain your contaminants.
