What is the tallest corn variety that you have grown for silage?
We have been growing corn for 5-6 years for our cows to graze and this year I got sludge applied to my land and want to see how tall I can get the corn to grow. In addition to the sludge I am applying 200 pounds an acre of NH^3 along withs some sulfur and phosphorus. I have recently been able to get the corn to grow to about 10 feet.
