Protect every tonne: Managing the economic risks of drought-damaged maize silage

Drought, heat, unpredictable rainfall and damaged crops can put more than maize yields at risk — they can put farm profitability under pressure.

When forage inventories are tight and every ton becomes more valuable, decisions made at harvest, ensiling and feed-out can have a significant impact on how much nutritional and economic value ultimately reaches the cow.

Join our experts for a practical webinar exploring how to protect the value of drought-stressed maize and reduce the financial risks of a challenging silage season.

We’ll discuss practical strategies to:

• Assess drought-stressed maize and make informed harvest decisions

• Manage variable dry matter and challenging harvest conditions

• Reduce losses through effective packing, fermentation and storage

• Manage risks associated with nitrates, molds and yeasts

• Protect aerobic stability and minimize losses at feed-out

• Get the greatest possible feeding value from every ton harvested

• Turn silage risk management into a strategy for protecting farm profitability this year or in the future.

You can’t control the weather. But you can make decisions that help protect every ton — and your bottom line.
