Dairy Webinar Series Continues with Close Look at Corn Silage on Dec. 3

The Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Dairy Team monthly webinar series continues Tuesday, Dec. 3, from 12 noon to 1 p.m. The program “What does this season’s corn silage look like?” features a presentation by Neal Wininger, feed and forage consultant with Dairyland Labs, Arcadia, Wisconsin.

Wininger will discuss what the lab analysis from this year's corn silage samples are telling him about the quality of the crop and what producers can anticipate about how it will convert into milk in the tank.

Producers, dairy consultants and industry representatives can attend the webinar by registering online. There is no registration fee; however, registration must be done at least one hour prior to the program to receive the URL.
