N FLA | I think we sell our earlage at 55% dry matter. We sell our corn silage at 30% DM. And we grow grain.
We can do better than 200 bushels. But I'd say that's a good average for us. Maybe 210 average.
Anyway, we do roughly 210 bushels, 27 ton silage, and 9 ton earlage.
I'd say a benchmark we use is 1/3 the earlage compared to silage. A 30 ton silage at 30% would make 10 tons earlage at 55% DM.
When you say chopping it for earlage at 30% moisture, I guess you mean grain moisture. Or 70% dry matter. I don't know if the cob is wetter or dryer. But it's about 55% DM at black layer. That's our targets anyway. | |
