I am a collector not a farmer but am familiar as a landowner since our farm has been rented all my life and I spent a lot of time working for area grain farmers. We don't have any cattle operations in our area. My question is about corn for silage and the land. My FIL, may he RIP, always did things the old way. Not for nostalgia but because he was cheap. He only passed a year ago. Was still using a dump rake for hay, a wooden wheeled grain drill, and never used chemicals (they cost too much).

My bro'in law who fancy's himself a farmer said he refused to let the man chop the corn for silage because it would ruin the soil. He would only let him pick it or combine it. With proper management, chopping corn will not harm the land will it?
