Besides corn, excellent silage may
be made from alfalfa, clover, oats and
peas. rye, sorghum. kafIir-corn, millet
and milo maize. While corn is the
principal crop for silage. 1t is often
found advisable to make silage from
other plants. especially during drouth
seasons, when excellent sorghum and
kaffir-corn can be grown as a catch
up. The first cutting of alfalfa hay
during a wet season is often lost. This
could be put in the silo and saved, and
by feeding out during the summer
months, the silo can be refilled in the
fall with corn and kaffircorn.
