Additional Corn Silage Moisture Sampling Day Sept. 28

                A corn silage moisture sampling day has been added on to the original Marinette – Oconto – Shawano Counties’ schedule by Crops/Soils Educator Scott Reuss.  This opportunity will take place Wednesday, September 28 at the times and locations listed below.  

                Farms should collect representative samples from fields and bring 3-6 stalks for each sample.  Samples can be brought in for any type of corn product: whole plant silage, snaplage, high moisture corn, or other.  Sample analysis is offered free for the first 5 samples per farm, with funding provided by the Shawano County Forage Council and other sources.  

Sample collection sites and times are:
