WC IL | Think about it. A decent silage yield here is 25-26 tons to the acre in a normal year, going to be less this year with the short corn. If you are doing 50 dozen ears, I'll assume a planting population of 24,000 for sweet corn, then 50 dozen ears equals .025 acre. So if you were harvesting whole plant field corn, that might get you 1250 lbs. of silage. The shucks only would be a small percentage of that weight.
Not worth the effort to try and make silage out of them, at least it wouldn't be for me. | |

Tiny silage pile?
