When we buy silage, we usually make a reasonable offer as well as give them the option of getting paid based on 6.5 times the average of the Friday closings of September corn. So if corn averaged 8 bucks, it'll be $52 plus whatever it cost you to chop it, haul it, store it, etc.
Also, I'd venture to guess that you'd probably get from 10-20 tons/acre. Hope this helps.
