GX80 Grazing corn - monte vista, colorado

In about a week...
this field of grazing corn will begin to tassel. When it tassels, the plant pulls sugar out of the plant in order to reproduce so if you graze when the ears are set you have lost sugar. Consider starting your rotational grazing sections on an early section as shown above.
Then move across the field with your rotational grazing. That process will gain you some efficiency. Corn in photo above was planted July 20th, Cove Oregon - Photo taken on September 5th.

GX80 Planted July 18 - photo sept. 6
This very early, low lignin/higher digestible variety is at full height at frost time. GX80 is one of the earliest corn varieties on the market (79 days relative maturity).
- One can turn out and graze corn when still green
- Hold the field until winter and graze (near zero harvest cost.)
- Bale in round or ton bales
- Put up as silage
Think of the expense winter hay stacks you can save by having this resource added to your program. Simply plug up every other hole in your grain drill, drop your cups, and plant one bag per acre.
