Many factors affect corn silage price

What’s a fair price for corn silage? That question is difcult to answer due to the number of factors involved that are dynamic and biologically variable. Some factors include production costs; grain price; harvesting costs; costs of handling, hauling and storing forage; grain drying costs; fertility and organic matter value of stover; and forage quality (especially starch content and neutral By J.W. Schroeder detergent ber digestibility). NDSU Extension The amount Dairy Specialist of moisture also has a major inuence on corn’s feed value and needs to be considered to determine fair silage prices accurately. Before making any decision, consult an insurance agent for additional impacts on indemnity payments for the sale of silage versus grain. Here are some thoughts to consider if you are a buyer or seller. If you are the buyer (livestock feeder), start with the price you are willing to pay for ready-to-feed silage. When pricing in-the-eld values, take into account these discounts: lower feed value due to drought stress, cost of harvest and making silage, transportation and any feeding loss. For example, if the value of the ready-to-feed silage is $55 per ton, you need to deduct 10 percent, or $5.50 per ton, because of the lost feed value as the result of it being drought-stressed corn. You also need to deduct the cost of harvesting and silage making, or $12 per ton ($60 per acre, the custom rate for chopping and hauling, divided by ve tons per acre), which leaves you with a maximum value of corn in the eld of $37.50 per ton. If you are the seller (corn producer), look at the value of the corn for grain and the fertilizer value that will be removed if the entire plant is harvested. For example, if the estimated yield is ve tons of forage and 37 bushels of grain per acre, the value of the fertilizer removed from silage is $80 per acre, or ve tons x $16 per ton, and the value of the grain is $222 per acre (37 bushels x $6 per bushel). This example is based on the assumption that 12 pounds of nitrogen is removed per ton (12 x $.60, which equals $7.20 per ton); four pounds of phosphorus is removed per ton (4 x $.55, which equals $2.20 per ton) and 12 pounds of potassium is removed per ton (12 x $.55, which equals $6.60 per ton). Then you need to deduct the harvest and marketing cost of $28 per acre, leaving you with a value per ton standing in the eld of $274 per acre, or $54.80 per ton. If you decide to harvest the crop for ensiling, the main consideration will be proper moisture for storage and fermentation. The crop will look drier than it is, so moisture testing will be critical. Be sure to test whole-plant moisture of chopped corn to ensure that acceptable fermentation will occur. Use a forcedair dryer, oven, microwave, electronic forage tester, near infrared reectance spectroscopy or the rapid “grab-test” method for your determination. With the “grab-test” method, squeeze a handful of nely cut plant material as tightly as possible for 90

seconds. Release your grip and note the condition of the ball of plant material in your hand. If: • Juice runs freely or shows between your ngers, the crop contains 75 to 85 percent moisture • The ball holds its shape and your hand is moist, the material contains 70 to 75 percent moisture • The ball expands slowly and no dampness appears on the hand, the material contains 60 to 70 percent moisture • The ball springs out in your open hand, the crop contains less than 60 percent moisture Then account for the inuence of moisture when establishing price. Use 65 percent moisture silage at $45 per ton as an example. Each ton contains 700 pounds of dry matter (2,000 x 0.35). The value per hundredweight of dry matter is $6.43 ($45 divided by seven). However, if the moisture content is 70 percent, then each ton contains only 600 pounds of dry matter. To have comparable value, this silage would have to be priced at $38.58 (six x $6.43) per ton. On the other hand, if the moisture content were 60 percent, then a comparable price would be $51.44 per ton (2,000 x 0.40, which equals 800, and then eight x $6.43). But remember, if the corn gets too dry, it will not ensile, so proper moisture is necessary to make silage. To calculate on a dry-matter basis, the formula is ($ per ton multiplied by actual dry matter) divided by dry matter for silage. For example, to determine the price of corn silage at 20 percent moisture (80 percent dry matter) using the reference price of $45 per ton of 65 percent moisture (35 percent dry matter) silage, the calculation would be ($45 x 80) divided by 35, which equals $102.86 per ton at 80 percent dry matter. As you can see, trying to nd an equitable value for corn silage can be a little more work, so some prefer to start with the following pricing rules of thumb for corn silage that’s ready to feed, then adjust from there: • 1 ton of silage is equal to approximately eight to 10 times the price of a bushel of corn. • 1 ton of silage is equal to approximately six times the price of a bushel of corn plus harvest costs. • Corn silage is worth approximately one-third the price of alfalfa hay. While this gives you a place to start, you also need to keep in mind some likely discounts to feed value, including the condition of drought-stressed corn. According to University of Wisconsin researchers, if droughty corn is estimated to yield 20 to 40 bushels per acre, the feed value typically would be adjusted to 90 to 100 percent of the price of normal corn silage. If the yields are estimated in the range of 0 to 20 bushels per acre, the feed value would be 80 to 90 percent of the price of normal corn silage. And if the stalks are short and barren, then multiply the price by 70 to 80 percent. If the buyer is responsible for harvesting, then use the custom farm rates for your state as a guide to establish credit toward the nal payment.

Organic farm report shows fairly strong farm performance last year

Organic crop producers did well while dairy farmers saw more challenges A new report issued by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) shows that 2011 was generally a good year for certied organic crop producers in the state, and somewhat challenging for organic dairy farms, although there was a high degree of variability across farm types and sizes. The 2011 Minnesota Organic Farm Performance report summarizes nancial data reported by 61 certied organic farmers, for both whole farm and for individual cropping and dairy enterprises. It also includes historical data for the four previous years. For key nancial measures, such as rate of return on assets, rate of return on equity, and liquidity, organic farms performed, on average, in the acceptable to strong range. Average and median net farm income were higher for crop farms in 2011 compared to 2010, but dairy prots declined, likely due in large part to feed and forage prices that climbed throughout the year. MDA’s organic program administrator, Meg Moynihan, says the report is primarily intended for organic producers and those who

may be considering a transition to organic production. “Farmers can really nd it helpful to compare their farm’s performance against a group of peers, to see where the farm is doing well, and where it may be falling short,” said Moynihan. “Similarly, farmers thinking about going organic in the future can use the report to get an idea of what they might expect.” The MDA’s systematic collection of organic farm data started in 2006 with funds provided by the USDA Risk Management Agency to reduce the cost of tuition for organic farms and is unique to Minnesota. All farms participate voluntarily and their privacy is strictly protected. The report can be viewed on the MDA website at http://www.mda.state. mn.us/fbm. The farms in this report, along with several thousand other nonorganic operations, participate in farm business management education programs offered by Minnesota State Colleges and Universities. Their data is analyzed and published by the Center for Farm Financial Management at the University of Minnesota in a public database called FINBIN www.nbin.umn.edu

Special Webinar: Drought Strategies, Aug. 27 Due to the widespread drought, there will be a special Hoard’s Dairyman webinar to address feed supply options for producers and their advisors to examine additional forage possibilities. “Sorting through your forage supply options” will be presented by Mike Hutjens, University of Illinois on Monday, August 27 at noon (Central time). Hutjens, who hosts the magazine’s monthly webinar and presents on nutrition and forage topics, expressed great interest in making this a very interactive webinar, wanting input from participants as to their current situation, so everyone can learn from others across the country. The exchange of regional experiences can assist others by gaining insight so they are better prepared to tackle their forage needs. Biotal Forage Inoculants (www.qualitysilage.com) stepped forward to sponsor this webinar. If you have not registered before and want to participate in this upcoming webinar, visit www.hoards.com/webinar or go directly to http://on.hoards.com/HD-webinar-signup Northeast Iowa Graziers pasture walks, Aug. 29 - Dec. 4 Producers seeking hands-on grazing management information in an informal atmosphere can attend one or more of the 2012 pasture-walk grazing eld events. These events are mostly farmer-to-farm discussion on their management experiences in rotational grazing. The Northeast Iowa Graziers plan monthly walks to help producers learn how better pasture management can result in both healthier prots and a healthier environment. The walks are organized by area graziers and supported by Extension and the Natural Resource Conservation Service. • Aug. 29, 6 p.m., Scott Cherne, 33166 Kiln Rd., Guttenberg. Call (563) 880-9600. From Osterdock in southeast Clayton County, which is about 7 miles southwest of Guttenberg, go west out of Osterdock on Kiln Road about 2 miles to the farm at 33166 Kiln Road. Cherne will talk about intensive rotational grazing of beef cows, frost seeding legumes, rst cut hay then graze, 1.5 miles of buried water line, water tanks from former anhydrous tanks. • Sept. 18, 10:30 a.m., Joel Winnes, 835 McCabe Drive, Waukon. Phone (608) 8226966. From the junction of Highways 9 and 76 south of Waukon, go east 1.2 miles on Highway 76 to County Rd X16 (Forest Mills Road), then south 0.8 miles to McCabe Rd., then west 0.1 mile to the farm. Great River Graziers will co-sponsor this pasture walk. The walk will explore this beginning farmers partnership model. In addition, ways to get through the summer slump and the pro’s and con’s of corn silage. • Dec. 4 — 1 p.m., Vance and Bonnie Haugen, 12620 Deer Rd., Canton, Minn. Phone (507) 743-8326. From Decorah, take Highway 52 north about 15 miles to the T-intersection

of Highway 52 and Highway 44. Deer Rd. is straight ahead. Go north on Deer Rd. to 12620 Deer Rd. Great River Graziers are cosponsoring this event. The Haugens will share their out wintering strategies on a semi-seasonal grass dairy with a minimum of buildings. Transitioning to Grass-Based Farming’ Featured at Field Day, Sept. 8 How one farm has transitioned from row crops to pasture-systems will be the focus of a free Land Stewardship Project (LSP) Farm Beginnings farm tour near Starbuck on Saturday, Sept. 8, from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information and to reserve a spot, contact LSP’s Nick Olson at 320-269-1057 or nicko@landstewardshipproject.org. Hosting the tour will be May Jo and Luverne Forbord, owner-operators of Prairie Horizons Farm. Over the years, Prairie Horizons has transitioned from being a conventional dairy farm to a pasture-based beef cattle operation. The Forbords will show rsthand how they are integrating perennial plant systems such as grass and trees into their operation. They will also discuss their establishment of other perennials as well as vegetables. In Her Boots Training supports Women Farmers in Sustainable Agriculture, Sept. 9 While the number of farms has been on the decline for many years, the number owned and operated by women is on the rise – up nearly 30 percent according to the last USDA Census of Agriculture. The Rural Women’s Project, a venture of the Midwest Organic and Sustainable Education Service (MOSES), supports these new women farmers through its In Her Boots: Sustainable Farming For Women, By Women, workshop. This day-long, on-farm workshop provides women farmers and food-focused business owners with an inspiring blend of practical information, skill-building, farm tours, resource connections and networking opportunities to encourage and support this growing segment of organic farmers, entrepreneurs and agricultural leaders. Workshops run from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and include lunch and a farm tour. The cost is $25 and scholarships are available. Each workshop is on a different woman-owned farm and covers different topics, so women are welcome to attend more than one. “These In Her Boots workshops are based on the idea that women learn best from each other in a format where we can ask questions and mentor and inspire one another,” explains Lisa Kivirist, director of the MOSES Rural Women’s Project. She and her family run Inn Serendipity Farm and B&B outside Monroe, WI. “Each workshop offers an inspiring lineup of women farmers who share their knowledge and experiences, enabling participants to dive into the practicalities of successfully running farm and food-based enterprises, including value-added enterprises, land stewardship, risk management through income diversication, and integrating children and family.” To register for any of the In Her Boots workshops go to: http://mosesorganic.org/womensprojectinherboots.html or call the MOSES ofce at 715-778-5775. If you have questions about the workshops, contact Lisa Kivirist, MOSES Rural Women’s Project Director, lisa@ innserendipity.com or 608-329-7056 (home ofce). Turn to CALENDAR | Page 16

Drought stricken crops may be dangerous Silage fermentation may produce several kinds of gas, including carbon dioxide and nitric oxide, which in turn produces nitrogen dioxide. Carbon dioxide is non-poisonous, although it can cause suffocation through lack of oxygen. However, nitrogen dioxide is poisonous. It kills and injures people as well as livestock. Nitrogen dioxide is a lethal gas which is yellowish-brown in color and smells like some laundry bleaches. Nitrogen dioxide is heavier than air and will remain at the bottom of air mass over the silage. Shortly after ensiling green plant material oxygen is used up in fermentation and the nitrates present in the plant are released to form one of the oxides of nitrogen. Normally nitrogen is taken up by plants as nitrate and converted to protein during normal growth. However, when plant growth is retarded by adverse growing conditions, such as prolonged drought, nitrates not converted to protein accumulate in the plant stems and leaves. After a drought, rapid nitrate uptake occurs in the plant following rain. Therefore, harvest the crop before it rains, or wait until at least 5 days after a rain. To reduce the amount of nitrate going into plants for

NOTE: The Domjahn family have farmed on this farm since the 1930’s by Rodney’s parents Alfred and Delores, with Rodney, Shirley and their family operating the farm since 1967. Now the Domjahns have decided to discontinue the dairy portion of their farming operation and disperse their registered herd of Holstein cattle at auction. The Roselund preﬁx came to be as a combination of their proximity to Montrose, MN and Rodney’s mother’s love of roses that are planted in abundance around the farm site. The Domjahn’s goal has been to produce sound functional cattle that will work in any environment while combining pedigree with production. Foremost in the minds of Rodney and Shirley was the incorporation of their family into the day-to-day farming operation. The children were actively involved in 4H and the whole family showing at local, regional and state venues. We hope you will make plans to be with us on September 11th as the Domjahns begin a new venture into retirement from the dairy industry. Prior inspection welcome by appointment beginning Tuesday, September 4th. Sale will be held under cover. Catalogs sent upon request, phone (320) 352-3803 or see online at www.midamericanauctioninc.com. Thank you!

silage, cut higher than normally (e.g.10-12 inches for corn silage). Most nitrates are deposited in the lower stalk. High levels of nitrates are dangerous for cattle. Always have the nitrate level in your feed tested before feeding. During silo lling operations, do not go into the silo just to level the silage; instead, make adjustments to the silage distributor to keep the silage leveled during lling. The danger period for silo gas may be up to a month or more after silo lling. The period of most rapid production is during the rst 10 days, starting immediately after material is put into the silo. During the next 3-4 weeks gas production tapers off. Some gases stay trapped within the silage during the initial storage period, and continue to be squeezed out into the headspace as the silage settles. Always assume silo gas is present until you know positively this is not the case. Silo ventilation and further information can be found in the “Silo Operators Manual” distributed by your local silo building company. Submitted by the International Silo Association

147 Head of Outstanding Official DHIA Holstein Cattle 147 NOTE: This is an excellent herd of very well uddered, high producing Holstein cattle. Current official records indicate a herd average of 2X 22,054 milk, 783 fat and 662 protein. 75 lb. tank average. No TMR and no hormonal components. SCC 150,000. This herd couldn’t be timed any more perfectly, with several just fresh and 27 cows due soon after sale time. Many first and second lactation cows. All milked in tie-stall facility. All cows are bred artificially with heifers bred to registered bulls from leading herds. Sires and service sires include, but not limited to these high GTPI sires: Jeeves, Burt, Oman, Shottle, Grayson, Levi, Langden, Colby, Barium, and Tax. Heifers bred 6 months and longer are in service to a Bacardi son with heifers bred 3 months and less in service to a registered Red & White Lawn Boy son. All hooves trimmed regularly, with all dry cows dry treated with Orbiseal and Quarter Master. Along with a fancy set of young, well uddered cows, we offer an excellent group of bred and open heifers that are in exactly the right flesh and built to milk. With increasing milk prices, don’t miss this opportunity to purchase superior, farm fresh, high producing herd replacements. Please mark this date on your calendar and make plans now to attend the Dunn complete dairy dispersal. #001, DOB 1-2-10, Fresh 1-5-12, Due 2-14-13, S - Leggler, SS - Petro, ME 24,492, 68 lbs. #2W, DOB 11-8-07, Due 9-20-12, S - Kenrik, SS - Attitude Red + 400 NM$, ME 24,957 #005, DOB 2-22-10, Fresh 3-1-12, Due 2-14-13, S - Machinist, SS - Arudolf Red, ME 19,828, 62 lbs. #5W, DOB 4-12-08, Due 10-4-12, S - Kenrik, SS - Gameday, ME 27,527 #6W, DOB 11-18-07, Due 9-20-12, S - Zidane, SS - Attitude-Red, ME 26,067 #7, DOB 11-18-04, Fresh 5-18-12, Bred 7-26-12, SS - Arudolf-Red + 400 NM$ #8, DOB 9-1-05, Fresh 11-7-11, Due 12-6-12, SS - Sentry, ME 20,978, 60 lbs. #008, DOB 3-17-10, Fresh 3-11-12, Bred 7-12-12, S - Jeeves + 517 NM$, SS - Fantasy-Red, ME 21,202, 62 lbs. #9W, DOB 12-4-07, Fresh 12-21-11, Due 11-15-12, S - Fabrizio, SS - Sentry, ME 26,790, 60 lbs. #009, DOB 3-25-10, Fresh 3-22-12, Bred 7-26-12, SS - Arudolf-Red + 400 NM$, ME 19,040, 54 lbs. #11, DOB 11-02-04, Fresh 7-3-12, ME 24, 524, 80 lbs.
