Turn Our Data Into Your Dollars with LG Seeds Silage Proven Hybrids

A plate of warm cookies requires dedication and data.

Let us explain.

A plate of warm cookies requires a cool glass of milk.

A cool glass of milk requires a high-producing dairy cow.

A high-producing dairy cow requires quality silage.

And quality silage requires dedication and data.

It’s pretty straightforward… right?

The Science of Silage: More Than Just Chopped Corn

Dairy producers know that quality corn silage can udderly make or break Bessie’s milk quality and output. And you can count on LG Seeds to be your reliable partner in making quality silage decisions.

So, what makes a high-quality silage? That’s a loaded question.

Packing density, microbial activity, and moisture content are all parts of that conversation.

Pair those factors with fiber, starch, and digestibility, and you’ve got enough to chat about well after every last cookie on that plate has been eaten.

But high-quality silage starts in the field with elite, high-performing corn hybrids. 

LG Seeds: Flexible Silage Solutions

At LG Seeds, our silage-proven hybrids give you the choices you need—without the distractions.

With relative maturity offerings spanning 84-118 days, our silage-proven hybrids provide the flexibility your farm needs—whether you want to spread out your harvest or maximize yields with full-season hybrids.

So, what does “silage-proven” mean? As our agronomy team notes:

“To be considered a Silage Proven hybrid, the product must display consistent performance, good tonnage across all testing regions, satisfactory NDF numbers, satisfactory starch content, high Milk Per Ton ratings, and high Milk Per Acre ratings.”

Our high-performing silage products provide nutritional consistency to your herd year after year. For ideal overall plant moisture, we look for a clear, visible milk line near the tip and a soft, low-dent kernel. Furthermore, we shoot for 40% starch content in our silage-proven hybrids, which optimizes digestibility and promotes greater milk production.

How can we do all of this? These hybrids are built on the same proven genetics as our corn lineup, and we back up our products with solid data.

Show Me the Numbers: The Data Behind the Claims

As your reliable partner in the corn silage business, LG Seeds backs up its hybrid claims with hard data. We collect and test hundreds of corn silage samples every season to refine our hybrids and offer trait choices developed to ensure a healthy, disease- and pest-resistant plant from seedling to harvest.

Each year, we test over 70,000 hybrids and analyze them with over 50,000 season hours of agronomic review.

From Washington to Texas and California to Wisconsin, our field trials encompass a wide variety of locations, soil types, and environmental conditions—because we know that data drives decisions.

We then publish these trial results on our website and provide you with ratings for nine different silage quality metrics—for each one of our 50 silage-proven hybrids.

Pair all this data with the expertise of your LG Seeds agronomist, and you’ve got a recipe for success that’s sure to impress your herd (and your ROI).
