Dekalb Asgrow agronomist Sammie Brantner tells Brownfield there are still thinks farmers can do now to help their corn silage crop. She says farmers should focus on fertility, weed control, and disease control. “Fertility right now, I mean, there’s plenty of time if we need to go out and put on that extra shot of nitrogen or sulfur. I’m always a fan of that second pass, especially early in the year for how dry we were.”
Brantner says the timing for applying fertilizer is a bit different when the corn will be used for silage.
