10X the price of corn is accurate for silage that is 35% DM and has a typical energy level (48 NEg). This is based on the calories in a bushel of #2 corn and the calories in a wet ton of silage. If you are custom feeding you should be pricing your corn with a markup per bushel, so you would price the silage off of the marked up corn price.
