Demand and Sales Comments
Corn silage harvest continues as bunkers and silos are being filled. Some farmers may be done with silage and some farmers will be harvesting fourth crop hay after a freeze. Remember to be safe during the harvest season. If you have, questions on this report contact richard.halopka@wisc.edu. If you need forage or have forage to sell or straw, connect to the Farmer-to-Farmer website. You may contact your local county agriculture educator if you need help placing an ad. There is no charge for the service.
