Silage Corn

Ultimately, a silage hybrid must produce a robust, reliable, digestible crop that will yield lots of tonnage with high quality and high energy content. Thunder Seed can provide all of this to you through our silage products.

Plant at medium-low populations to realize optimal yield. This may typically equate to around 3,000-5,000 plants/acre fewer than you typically do for grain, depending on your environment. However, do not exceed 28,000 plants/acre regardless of how good your growing conditions may be. Thunder’s High-Digestibility Silage hybrids are bred to have large flex ears and large robust plant stature.

Do not harvest for grain. The soft kernels stay at a high moisture content for a longer time to lengthen the chopping window.
