CornPicker

Choosing which variety of corn to plant for corn silage is a decision that can affect your farm profits by thousands of dollars each year.  Dr. Mike Allen prefers the use of a partial budget comparing a defender and challenger variety that considers the difference in quality as well as yield.  He developed CornPicker
® for Silage (1.0), a partial budget Excel spreadsheet that takes into account factors specific to your farm in the corn silage selection process.
