We finished chopping corn silage today. This was our first year growing Cropland S7000 from WinField United and Macon-Trousdale Farmers Co-Op. This is the tallest corn we have ever seen and the ears were good too. 26.5 tons of silage per acre. S7000 is a 130 day conventional corn. Thanks to Andy Shrum for his seed recommendation. Sure is fun growing a good crop. The ears were so high we had to jump to get one to inspect.
Great job!
That corn is on steroids lol
Wow!! Never saw corn in Illinois that tall !!! Ever! You all are great farmers. You do it right!
