The Dairyland Seed story is one of enduring commitment and visionary leadership. From humble beginnings in rural Wisconsin to becoming a trusted regional partner, Dairyland Seed continues to be a leader in agronomic advice, best-in-class trait technology and high-yielding products to growers throughout the Upper Midwest.

Boasting a full corn, silage and soybean portfolio, Dairyland Seed products are selected specifically for where they are grown. By hand-selecting and locally testing each product, Dairyland Seed can ensure it offers a diverse selection to work in Midwestern soils.

Corn Silage Products for the Upper Midwest

Corn silage is essential. Why? It plays a significant role in the level of milk production a farm can achieve, as well as the cost of the total ration fed to the animals for an entire year. Each year, growers match hybrids to soil types and agronomic traits to specific environments. When growing silage, nutritive value and digestibility must also be taken into consideration.

Effective corn product selection is critical for a successful, profitable silage operation. Dairy farmers should select corn products for tonnage potential, appropriate maturity and high starch content. For Dairyland Seed, growers should look for hybrids with high digestibility scores.

As such, Dairyland Seed provides growers in the region with two distinct lineups: HiDF and Bovalta BMR corn silage to meet the specific needs of dairy farmers.

Dairyland Seed exclusive HiDF (highly digestible forage) series sets rigorous standards for silage products to provide the maximum nutrient profile possible as well as better overall digestibility. The Dairyland Seed Product Team offers this lineup to address agronomic concerns and production challenges growers may face. HiDF seeks to provide the best possible product to cover any grower’s needs within their silage metrics—and it’s only available at Dairyland Seed.

Growers looking to boost fiber digestibility have Bovalta BMR corn silage as an option. Bovalta BMR provides the starch content dairy farmers are looking for without compromising digestibility or top-end tonnage. As a silage option, Bovalta BMR helps farmers reduce supplemental feed costs and improve dry matter intake.
