How to use corn damaged by dry weather for silage

Dry weather during corn silking and pollination can significantly reduce grain yield expectations. Inadequate moisture can result in poor ear fill or even corn plants without any ear or grain. Damaged corn crops with low grain yield potential may be available for salvaging as corn silage for livestock producers that are short of forage. Farmers attempting to salvage corn fields damaged by dry weather by harvesting them as forage should be aware of some of the harvesting and nutrition implications.
