We’ve all heard the proverb “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks,” implying that once we become accustomed to doing something one way we are hesitant to change. However, when evaluating corn silage processing score (CSPS) or kernel processing score (KPS), this may not apply. 

One or more herbicide resistant weed specie can be found in every state in the Northeast and are present in major crop production areas across the country.

In most areas of the country, corn silage makes up a large percentage of a dairy cow’s diet. Producing high-quality corn silage is a process that involves several important steps. It starts with planting the right varieties that combine yield potential with ideal traits related to nutrient concentrations and digestibility.

It comes as a surprise when some of your herd’s top performers drop off in milk. Nothing has changed regarding cow management, and you verify the diet is still high quality.

When following a recipe, it's often necessary to grab the correct ingredients at the store in order to get the optimal desired outcome. Similar to whipping up a cake or mixing your favorite dry rub, creating a dairy ration requires specific ingredients.
