Picking a corn hybrid to grow for silage can be a daunting task. There are several factors to be considered that differ from simply looking at yield and moisture, as we would tend to do with grain corn.

More and more western Canadian farmers are giving silage and grazing corn a try thanks to new shorter season hybrids that offer impressive yield – as much as 50% more silage yield than barley – as well as palatability and excellent digestibility.
As 2023 seems to be flying by, we wanted to use this newsletter as an opportunity to review five different corn agronomic issues we saw during the 2022 growing season in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
PRIDE Seeds agronomist Matt Chapple shares how seed companies stress test hybrids to ensure only the best, most resilient hybrids make it to market. He also discusses how hybrid performance can vary in different environments and why it’s critical to properly position a hybrid on a farm to optimize yield.
The first ever planting of the PRIDE Seeds demo plot in Pain Court, ON has been completed under the direction of Market Development Agronomist Matt Chapple. The new demo plot is located on the property of PRIDE’s head office, adjacent to the new PRIDE Seeds Education Centre, which was unveiled earlier this year. The project

There is no question that Precision Agriculture is the hot topic in field crop production today. While still in the relative early stages of development, rarely has a new sector expanded so fast, and with so much collective energy devoted to it, as Precision Ag. The entire agronomy industry, from seed companies to crop input suppliers, along
