You have to beat the weather, the natural ups and downs of good and bad crop years, mold, and spoilage. Then you have to worry about what it cost you to feed silage for the value you received. Chemgro silage inoculants SI 2000 and SI 2000ws can eliminate a lot of the guesswork. Designed to allow you to choose dry or water applications, either products will add quality and silage mileage no matter what your crop. You get fast-dropping ph, rapidly-rising lactic acid production, and quicker fermentation than you find in both untreated silage or crops treated with other inoculant brands. The result is silage that is more palatable for the cows, higher in total nutrients, and that contains more total digestible dry matter - a higher return on your investment. Call us today to find out more about Chemgro SI 2000 and SI 2000ws silage inoculants and applicators.
