Brown MidRib dent corn was initially discovered in 1924 at the University of Minnesota- St. Paul, as a recessive gene trait. When corn silage became a larger part of dairy diets in the 1980’s and 1990’s, BMR corn was brought into the market for silage. Since then it has become synonymous for high quality silage and many progressive farmers use it in their cow’s diets.

But for all its feeding benefits, BMR still makes up a small percentage of the corn chopped for silage each year. That is because it also has agronomic and starch quality challenges.

But, what if we could have better quality silage than BMR without its agronomic and low starch issues?

WHY IT WORK'S

The key to the “Better than BMR” system is corn stalk diameter. By expanding the diameter of the corn stalk, the percentage of lignin and indigestible material declines. Our results have shown that we can lower lignin by 30% and increase overall fiber digestibility by nearly 8% by expanding stalk diameter.

One amazing thing about our system is that a bag of corn seed plants over 3 acres. Try your current planting rate and then compare our system at 24K! The results are one reason business minded farmers are switching thousands of acres to our system!
