    is it destined for beef or milk, cut around 32 - 35% Dm for milk and take it as dry as you wish for beef,40 - 50% dm if conditions allow and cut high . people in the know will disagree with my advice. have heard of a contractor supplying customers with silage just over 20% dm for milkers

    leaving the above aside I have a good bit of green maize to cut next week as cobs just didnt arrive
