Non-GMO Corn Silage Variety Trial

In 2018, the University of Vermont Extension Northwest Crops and Soils Program evaluated yield and quality of 12 non-GMO corn silage varieties at Bridgeman View Farm in Franklin, VT. A non-GMO milk market has prompted some dairy farmers to start growing corn silage that has not been genetically modified. Conventional farmers have countless corn silage varieties available supported by performance data and trait information. To successfully convert to growing non-GMO corn, farmers are looking for more information on non-GMO varieties that are available and perform well in our region. While the information presented can begin to describe the yield and quality performance of these non-GMO corn silage varieties in this region, it is important to note that the data represent results from only one season and one location
