Silo-Pro was introduced by CISCO in the spring of 2015.  What makes Silo-Pro work well in the Midwest is that it only gets 6-7 feet tall.  It is very resistant to lodging.  It has very wide leaves that canopy over the rows very quickly.  This is great weed control. 

Silo-Pro can be harvested once as a direct chop in the soft dough stage.  It can also be cut in the mid-boot stage, wilted, and chopped.  When cut in mid-boot, Silo-Pro will regrow and can be harvested again in the same manner.  The advantage of the two-cut system is a higher crude protein (CP) and improved TDN.
