New Crops Enterprise Budget Tool now available to help growers plan for next year
As we move into fall and winter, farmers will begin planning for next year’s crops. Investing time into estimating the costs of production is one of the steps in the planning process. Knowing this information can be an important part of determining how many acres of each crop to plant. Cost of production information is helpful to determine breakeven costs per acre and unit of production for marketing the crop and farmland rental discussions.

Update on corn shredlage for dairy cows
There continues to be a lot of interest in corn silage harvested with a self-propelled forage harvester (SPFH) equipped with an aftermarket processor having cross-grooved processing rolls set for 2- to 3-mm roll gap and greater roll speed differential than has typically been used (32% versus 21%). Also, the developer of this processor recommends that the SPFH be set for a longer theoretical length of cut (TLOC; 26 to 30 mm) than has typically been used in the past (19 mm TLOC).
