We used to plant 60 acres or so of sweet corn every year under contract with a canning company. One year, the canning rep came by to tell us they had too much sweet corn and wouldn't be picking ours. So my dad and I chopped it and put it in the silo. When we hit that section of silage the milk production dropped dramatically. My dad told a few neighbors about it but it didn't get much publicity until, a few years later, one of the largest dairy operations tried sweet corn silage. Same thing. Dramatic drop in milk production. That owner called my dad and said: "I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it for myself." For dry cows, etc. I don't know. But for milking cows, around these parts, don't feed them sweet corn silage and if it is without the ears? Forget it for anything. Cows will milk better on alfalfa silage anyway. Feed your corn silage to the beefers and dry cows. That's all I know. We milked holsteins for 70+ years.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
