Subject: Short day corn for early corn silage?



Adrian MI
We are in need of corn silage as early as possible this fall. We normally start planting corn the first week of May with 115-120 day varietys and finish up in mid-June (after chopping the rye and wheat off) with 105 day corn. Then we can usually start chopping around the 10th of September. If we planted a 90-95 day corn first this spring, when would it be ready to chop, in an average year. I know the yield would be less than a longer day variety, but if would could get some chopped a couple of weeks sooner it would give us some feed and a place to haul some manure. Located in SE lower MI.
