You’ve invested months of work and around £700 per acre to grow this year’s maize. But here’s the reality: without the right harvest and clamp management, up to 20% of that value could be lost before it even reaches your livestock.
The VOLAC 2026 Maize Symposia has been created to provide dairy farmers with practical, science-backed insights that can help drive milk production, improve feed efficiency, and protect cow health – all from your own fields.
Dairy farmers making multi-cut grass silage seem to be in a stronger position when it comes to improving milk from forage and the resilience of their businesses to dry weather, a new survey suggests.
As on many farms, reduced milk prices have cut margins for Mark Fitton, so he remains committed to maximising milk from forage.
If you’ve ever stood at the feed fence and thought, “This looks different today” or “Are the cows sorting this?” — the Penn State 3-tray shaker box is one of the quickest, simplest tools you can use to get a straight answer.
