Top Fodder: Making Every Bite Count

With feed in short supply and every paddock under pressure, smart silage management has never been more important.

The Top Fodder program will help you maximise every cut, reduce losses, and boost the quality of homegrown feed so you can feed your herd well through dry/wet spells and keep production on track.

The program covers:

• Using silage in the farming system

• Harvesting silage
• Managing the wilting process
