You need to choose a variety which:
- Matures at the optimum time for your farm to ensure you can harvest in good conditions avoiding the risk of a late harvest and ensuring maize can be included in the diet soon
- Combines high dry matter yields with excellent starch content and high cell wall digestibility to maximise feed energy values and the milk production potential of your crop
- Allows high intakes of quality forage to cut feed bills
With so many factors to consider, how do you make sure you choose the right variety to optimise return on investment on your farm?
