CONT

Brown mid-rib (BMR) corn has a lower lignin content than other silage corn varieties, and many growers are interested in this type of corn for its higher digestibility and potential to yield more milk than conventional silage corn. With BMR's high fiber digestibility it may help increase dry matter intake of forage and may reduce purchase of concentrates.

OBS

A type of corn especially suited to forage production.
