In Reply to: Sweet corn silage posted by jacksonduper on February 13, 2010 at 18:48:04:
Way back in the 40s/50s, most years my dad raised 10-15 acres of sweet corn for the local cannery. The sileage was husks & cobs, stacked at the plant. Policy was that each farmer was entitled to free sileage, his portion depending on the tonnage he produced. Cows seemed to like the sweeter feed, much like humans like sweet treats. If living too far from plant made hauling with horse drawn wagon not to be cost(time) effective, it was custom for a grower to sell his share to someone who lived closer. In later years he topped off silo with chopped sweetcorn stalks & fed it first. Also to make a richer feed, would plant his sileage patch with sugar cane in one box of planter, making alternate rows with field corn. Chopping with single row chopper would load it in layers in wagon box, blower would mix it. Cows loved the sweet mixture. Was too young at the time to know if it was cost effective, but that's how he did it. Willie
