Better silage quality will help livestock farmers escape hike
On the company’s stand at the Ploughing, he said grass silage quality is generally better, and predicted that maize silage quality will be better also. As a result, concentrate feeding requirements will be reduced.
He expects increased trading of maize silage, and said there can be value for livestock feeders in beet. Also, cattle will be coming off grass much better than at the start of last winter, cows will not need as much improvement in condition, and beef cattle will finish faster.
