An agronomist says the corn silage harvesting time is approaching very fast. Sammie Brantner is a technical agronomist with Dekalb Asgrow. She tells Brownfield the hot July weather put crop growth into overdrive and farmers need to pay attention. She says, “It’s best just to go out and keep an eye on those silage fields because they can, once they get going, they can start getting away from us.”
Brantner says growers need to watch for the optimum time to harvest based on total plant moisture.
