Corn Silage Adjusted Dry Matter Pricing Program
- An Excel spreadsheet - to adjust the spreadsheet to the typical corn silage dry matter percentage in your region, please enter that dry matter percentage in cell B4 of the spreadsheet.
- The purpose of this paper is to examine the effectiveness of some single emphasis approaches to becoming more profitable. The approaches analyzed are: emphasizing size, high production per cow, high milk price, low investment per cow, low cost-of-production, and low debt per cow. As different single emphasis approaches may be better suited for different market price conditions, this paper analyzes their effectiveness in a bad price year (2003) and a good price year (2005).
