nc ks | How can your yield not be down much then? If you are just chopping corn that is 20 to 40bu per acre, there has to be thousands of acres that are in that 70 to 100bu that will be picked that usually make 145 or more? Is your irrigated a record crop to make up the yield loss? You made it sound like because the hay tonnage would be down, guys were going to chop corn they normally wouldn't chop in order to have more forage for the ration. That implies that the corn they normally wouldn't chop would have a fair amount of grain in it since it's corn they normally wouldn't chop. That better corn silage coupled with the fact that it becomes 85% of the ration instead of 60% of the ration would probably not need as much energy added to it.
I can understand what you meant. I still think unless your irrigated is well above average, that the dryland that is picked will pull your yield down. | |
