      @bigtractorpower  4 года назад +1

      The reason it is high is their nutritionist recommend cutting higher as the lower stall has less feed value. The corn is York’s so high they have more than enough feed being harvested so they can leave the stalk higher. Also sorghum is planted right behind the chopper as a second crop which will be harvested in November.

  • @kevinnash5429
    @kevinnash5429 4 года назад

    A lot people asking why the corn ish chopped so high. The bottom portion of the stalk has less digestible fiber. Corn is a grass which is energy. Most of that comes from the grain itself. Some dairy nutritionist push for the higher energy feed.
    Not discrediting anyone, but the chopper operator in last years video said protein. Corn, again is energy, not a good protein source. To answer the question, looking for higher digestible energy feed.
    I myself need the tons so I don't chop that high.
