Our farm trials in 1991 were scattered from Lewis County, New York to Highland County, Virginia. Each silage hybrid was weighed immediately at harvest, and the silage tested by an in dependent lab. After four years a pattern is developing. 1. The same hybrids are con sistently near the top. 2. Tonnage leaders are also protein and TON leaders. 3. Silage quality varies dramatically from year to year and field to field. pull get om How we rank 'em for 1992 These silage hybrids headed our farm trials year after year.
