Heavy precipitation causes damage to silage maize

19 August 2020 - Redactie Boerenbusiness

Heavy showers fell in many places in the Netherlands last week. This has caused damage to the silage maize in a number of places, including a plot of the Boerenbusiness Roughage Tour did not go unscathed.  

The plot that has suffered damage is located in Zeewolde. This plot lagged behind in growth and is now facing another setback. the corn is not lying flat on the ground, but it has taken a good knock. According to the Sencrop weather pole on the plot, 42 millimeters of rain fell in combination with a strong wind.

Not all plots are equally allocated. The other participants of the Roughage Tour report that the showers have blown over them. Some plots have even had so little rainfall that some participants have started irrigating again.
