As we enter into the 2000 corn silage harvest season, farmers, consultants and industry
are reminded of the internet site available for monitoring rate of drydown throughout
Wisconsin. The website is located at http://www.uwex.edu/ces/ag/silagedrydown/. County agents collect
data from either county drydown days where farmers can get corn forage moisture
measured, or recurrent sampling of local cornfields. Results are entered into the
website by county agents and be viewed immediately along with projected dates of
harvest for various silage structures.
