2024 Silage Performance Summary Now Available

BY Dairyland Seed Agronomy Team
2024 Silage

As the seed industry continues to evolve, there seems to be less emphasis on researching and providing corn hybrids that perform well for silage. For Dairyland Seed, however, silage continues to be very important for our customers, thus it is a major part of our corn portfolio.  It is important enough that we offer a portfolio containing three different silage segments containing Bovalta BMR hybrids, HiDF silage hybrids, and dual-purpose silage/grain hybrids.

One of the best tools we have to set ourselves apart in the industry is our silage strip plot program. Each year, we put our money where our mouth is, and set out to prove that we have an industry leading silage portfolio. We do this using data generated from on farm strip trials in real life conditions. In 2024, despite a challenging planting and growing season, we were able to gather data from 361 plot replications across seven states.  Although the crop was more variable at harvest than in past years, the data generated shows consistently good performance in both yield and quality metrics.

  • Acre Investment ROI
    With harvest completed in almost all areas, the focus on many farming/ranching operations, besides day-to-day management, is putting in next spring’s crop. Another aspect is looking at managing the cost of producing that bushel or ton of crop due to input and commodity prices.

  • Deciding or Choosing a Nitrogen Rate
    As we are in or just getting done with many hunting seasons, asking an Agronomist to pick a Nitrogen (N) rate for your corn crop is akin to a asking a hunter what his or her favorite weapon to hunt with is. The answer in both instances is probably “well it depends.” As an Agronomist, before recommending a nitrogen rate, I typically ask several questions. It’s often said that the number of questions I might ask is comparable to the number of inquiries new parents make when consulting a physician about their child. Before suggesting an N rate, I have considered the following background information and questions:
