This high-energy forage is utilized by both beef and dairy producers as a basis for most of their rations.
Circumstances develop on certain occasions that require a value to be placed on the corn silage.
These requests range from pricing corn silage in the field prior to harvest to determining a value on silage already harvested and stored in a horizontal or upright silo. Determining the value of corn silage already stored requires some considerations. Corn silage contains approximately 65 to 70 percent moisture. Any time you are determining the value of a product the moisture content must be considered. Also silage is very bulky to move which adds to the transportation cost.
