Great information.....i have a question about the maize....if my maize has passed the milking stage abit but not hard dry....can i still use it?

[@Farmwithpaul]

Yes you can but use a silage chopper

[@winniegentrix]

My question is how many ecras do I have to plant maize to feed two cows the whole of the year

[@Farmwithpaul]

One cow consusumes 10tons per year which with good agronomical practices can be produced from one acre

[@franciskiboi5204]

Kind out of topic, Is it recommended to create silage from a mixture of maize and Napier grass in the same silage pit.

[@Farmwithpaul]

You can but you will lower nutrient per kg

[@BenardKiama-ou6vl]

[@hommieSimz]

How many liters of molasses do you pour the liter of EM.....your sound quality is not good so i cant here well that part

[@Farmwithpaul]

30L of molases :90L of water and 1L of Em

[@hommieSimz]

Thank you for your response. I want to use dry maize stalks since its winter now...my questions are should i use the same measurements of molasses and EM as uses with milking maize stalks? Also do i need to add water when using dry maize stalks and lastly, if i silage hay bale can i use the same measurements?
Thank you sir

[@Farmwithpaul]

@@hommieSimz if you are using dry maize. Molases :water is 1:2 respectively and add one liter of em. In dry maize ensure the dry maize has more molases but not completely wet. You can also improve the quality by adding one kg of urea n complex mix with water and molasses before sprinkling on to the material. Hay and silage are two different methods of preservation if its hay keep it as hay i.e hay from grass
