Jul 27, 2026
Season 2
Episode 77
Scott Zehr
Corn silage harvest is about more than filling the bunker. It is one of the biggest opportunities to protect profitability on the dairy and set the herd up for success over the coming year.
In this episode of Ruminate This, Dr. Larry Roth, Vice President of Nutrition at Agrarian Solutions, explains why corn silage should be managed like one of the farm's most valuable assets. He discusses how harvest timing, kernel processing, packing density, dry matter testing, storage management, and feedout strategy all influence forage quality, shrink, mycotoxin risk, feed efficiency, milk production, and components.
Whether you're managing the dairy or helping producers build feeding programs, you'll gain practical insights to improve forage management, protect the value of every ton harvested, and support healthier cows, stronger performance, and better returns.
