Silage
Master Choice Hybrids provide a strong combination of three things. The first is high digestibility fiber. This allows us to feed more forage and less grain. The second strength is the sugars. Masters Choice made a decision, years ago to develop hybrids that had a high sugar content. For ensiling this means a quicker drop in pH, resulting in a higher quality silage with greater stability. The residual sugar content provides for enhanced palatability. The third strength is the higher availability in the starch within 2 weeks after ensiling eliminating the slump in performance that we usually associate with new corn silage.

Organic Silage
| Name | Maturity | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ORG-463 | 83 | This corn is an ideal hybrid for short maturity zones. Good northern movement with good agronomics within northern zone. OG-463 is best for grain, so silage is usually high in starch and energy. |
| ORG-515 | 98 | This MPG hybrid does not move south as well as some other hybrids, but north of I-80 it's a proven winner. The floury grain is very digestible on a firm white cob. |
| ORG-530 | 105 | The floury grain of 530 is the best we produce for starch availability. It is excellent for hi-moisture corn and earlage. Keep 530 north of I-70 for best results. |
| ORG-618 | 112 | This corn is not very tall, but has thick/dense stalks. Grain yield is average, but very digestible. It's very stress tolerant, making it an inexpensive option for less than best soils. |
