That's excellent quality milo silage. The same energy as typical corn silage with a higher protein content.

Drought corn silage typically tests very similar to normal season corn silage with a little less energy and a little more protein. The big difference is in the tonnage.

I'd be inclined to think that in a good growing year for you corn silage would be a better buy than milo silage because of the yield. But, we never know ahead of time whether its going to be a good or poor year for corn. I worked with a large yard in Missouri that always planted and chopped both milo and corn for silage, because they had enough dry years that it paid to plant the milo every year. But in good years the corn silage had twice the tons per acre.

In most of Iowa, the odds are very good that the corn will out yield the milo.
