Well I'm afraid of cutting sileage. I have been the 30 years I've been farming. I also have very high Organic matter content for this area. Everybody does things different, and I will never chop sileage on any of my fields. I really am not afraid of it, but our low organic matter ground needs all the help they can get. I have improved some from 1 to 1.5 up to 3 to 4 % orgainic matter and some of the poorest fields I have ever bought have had corn sileage chopped off of them for year. Maybe other areas are different.
