Cutting Silage

A local dairy farmer north of Greenville cut silage from his drought stricken corn.  The corn had ears, so he left strips to prove his yield for crop insurance.  Also not that he left about a foot of stalks to avoid nitrate issues.  The nitrates tend to concentrate in the lower portion of the plant, but testing is still needed to determine levels.
