Is Maize Still Right for You? Dairy Insight

Maize can be a very valuable and productive crop, however, are you creating unnecessary environmental risks at maize harvest or consistently not hitting yield targets? If so, it’s time to make some changes.

As an industry, we can ill-afford the bad PR around field runoff following a muddy, late harvest, let alone the costs associated with a poor-quality forage crop. If you are consistently struggling with maize, take the time to review and improve your growing strategy or question whether alternative crops may be better suited to your farm.
