Pricing Corn Silage – Estimating the Value of the 2025 Crop

Aug 12, 2025

By Kevin Jarek

Wisconsin has led the nation in corn silage production for decades, harvesting approximately 800,000 acres annually. While alfalfa has been widely accepted as the “Queen” of the Forages, there should be no doubt about who is the “King”. Corn silage enables us to harvest more Milk Per Acre (MPA) (dry matter (DM) yield X Milk Per Ton (MPT) = MPA), than any other forage crop grown statewide.

Milk Per Acre (MPA) = Dry Matter (DM) Yield * Milk Per Ton (MPT)

One of the most common questions this time of year is, “How much is corn silage worth?” The truth is there is no one sure reply. The one constant is that grain prices drive the process of trying to arrive at a “fair” value. Instead of trying to come to an exact price, the goal is to identify and discuss the factors both parties involved in any transaction need to consider.
