A loss in tonnage yield not only will impact your storage values for the year to come but also can hurt your return on investment for corn silage in 2018. Get the most out of your corn silage investment with these steps against foliar diseases.
Consult your local agronomist to scout fields, review disease pressures and build an action plan to manage foliar diseases to grow a high-quality corn silage crop this season.
