Making the difference for you
Silage Smart
Just as corn selected for grain production have different characteristics, silage corns are developed for specific purposes and farming operations as well. Yet, most seed companies approach the silage grower with a “one size fits all” approach to fulfilling the needs of producers looking to maximize their acres devoted to corn silage production.That’s where SilageSmart™ comes in.
Fontanelle has developed corn silages specifically for your operation. Producers can now choose from the following types of corns depending upon their intended use, farming practices, location and budget.
HDS hybrids have high forage content of digestible forage, higher sugar content and softer, more digestible kernels. The plants mature more slowly – giving a longer period for silage harvest in the desired plant moisture range. Compared to traditional dual purpose corns, HDS have shown significantly higher NDF digestibility tested from 24-36 hours. High yields of HDS (with traits) will allow cattle producers to increase the amount of corn silage in the ration to combat the high cost of feed corn without the loss of production.
Fontanelle is introducing a line of new corn numbers that offer the grower a choice of either high grain yield corn or high tonnage silage. These corn products are ideal for the cattle producer allowing for the opportunity to adjust corn acre usage to current market conditions.
