The Outagamie Forage Council/Midwest Forage Association (MFA) in partnership with Extension Outagamie County and Fox Valley Technical College (FVTC) will sponsor four 2023 Corn Silage Drydown events. Farmers, agronomists, and professional consultants should bring 4-5 stalks from each field for testing.
Dates and locations are listed below. Samples that cannot be processed on site will be taken to Dairyland Laboratories in De Pere for testing and results will be available the following day on the Extension Outagamie County website at https://outagamie.extension.wisc.edu/. The state UW Corn Silage Drydown website has been moved to the UW-Madison Division of Extension Crops and Soils Topic Hub website at https://cropsandsoils.extension.wisc.edu/corn-silage-dry-down/.
