Leafy, floury (LF) hybrids pair excellent agronomics with outstanding silage yields, high starch content, highly digestible starch and digestible fiber.
LF hybrids have been bred to meet the agronomic and nutritional requirements of the dairy and beef industries. With more leaf area per plant than conventional corn hybrids, they need less time in the silo before they can be fed and produce high-quality milk and beef dependably and economically. Plant at 28,000-30,000 plants per acre for best agronomic performance, starch yield, and fiber digestibility. To ensure full expression of floury kernels (25% on each ear), do not interplant with any other corn hybrid. These hybrids also make excellent high-moisture corn, but should not be harvested for grain.
