Thats a very good average! Well done!!

Not to many people around here bale corn stalks. Do you track soil data on these farms? Just curious.

Yes, I have contracted with a local elevator company. I didn't do a study on feeding corn fodder, but some experts say it will reduce hay requirement. I don't feed it out constantly, rather as a treat. The cows come running when they know it is available.

In some situations I use it as bedding for the young stock.
Thanks for that! I find it very interesting how differently farming can be done "right". Am interested if you track soil organic matter on the fields you bale?
No, I don't.
