FULL TIME" FORAGE CAN YOU AFFORD TO WAIT ANOTHER All corn silage is not created equal according to Ron, Donna, Mark and Ronnie Hough. Until 4 years ago, Valleys End Farm, Rebersburg planted Ciba- Geigy corn hybrids. At that time Dave Martin, Young’s Nutritional Consultant entered the picture. At first they were skeptical about his insistence about the importance of NDF digestibility and its relationship to dry matter intake. No questions anymore. Thanks to feeding high-quality corn silage hybrids like 6511FQ and 7301FQ, their cows are making 102 lbs of milk and 246 days in milk, with a DHIA tank test butterfat of 3.8. Their 57.35 forage to 42.65 grain ration below is giving them income over feed costs of $10.07. Ingredient Grass Hay Haylage Corn Silage Urea High Producer Top Dress Base Protein High Moisture Shell Corn MAGNI-FAcT Minerals, Buffers, etc Income 102 lbs milk x $14.25 = Feed Costs Income over feed costs The Houghs value cow comfort in their tie stall barn and are an excellent management team on their dairy farm. But without a doubt, Forage Quality Hybrids from Cargill Hybrid Seeds have made their income over feed costs escalate. So how do you improve on 102 lbs of milk at $10.07 income over feed costs? They are planting 20 units of FULLTIME™ Forage this spring. Can milk production and income over feed costs get any better? ABSOLUTELY!
