You also need to think how corn yeilds have changed. Today 200 bu corn or 30 tons of corn silage is common. In the 50's the average might have been 75 bu or 8-10 tons of silage. We were from western MD and tended to be dry often. More than once we only averaged 8 tons of silage per acre in the early 90's. Spent days on a 4020 with a two row Deere chopper in third or forth gear. Helped a neighbor one fall that had a 4040 and two row chop silage every day for over two weeks to chop for a 100 cow dairy,60 cow dairy and a 40 cow operation. The faster you can chop silage makes the best as it is all the same moisture and feed value. That is why many hire their work done but you can still harvest lots of silage with 1 or 2 row equipment. Pic below is 4020 chopping 25 ton corn silage with one row. Tom
