IT'S A LOT EASIER TO HARVEST
Contractor notices the machine is highly efficient in processing Brixx maize. Because there is less ligning processing is faster and is typically faster. The ease of processing also applies to the animals, with more efficient conversion in the rumen and less waste in the form of manuer.
WHO SAY'S YOU CAN'T GET BIG YIELD ON A SHORT MATURITY?
Cobbs are ready on this big short day maize. And, "Boy, she's green!"
BEAUTIFUL GREEN AND GOLD
"I can't beleive how green it is, and the cobbs are ready to go!"
ALMOST COVERS THE CAB
Big 83 day crop chopped off South of Auckland.
COBBS ARE HUMUNGOUS
Silage maize means the whole plant is digestible, it doesn't mean you shouldn't expect a humungous cob. The story is whole plant diegestibility. Planted in December!
VIEW FROM THE CAB
An interesting view of Brixx 83 day hybrid from inside the cab of a forager. Hint: it's big...
LOOK AT THE HEIGHT ON THAT
BIg silage maize with 83 day RM reading for chopping post-cyclone.
SHE'S WINDY!
Watch Brixx maize weather harsh near cyclone conditions.
I CAN'T BELEIVE THIS!
A farmer expresses astonishment not only that his Brixx maize is still standing after a cyclone, but that it remains undammaged.
SAME WIND SAME FIELD
8 to 9 foot Brixx hybrids left standing while competitive grain hybrids went flat, despite being only 5 to 6 feet in stature.
SNAP! DON'T LET THIS BE YOU.
Interesting in-field comparison; Brixx hybrids survived cyclone winds, while grain genetics in the same block snapped in half. Mitigating wind damage risk is a big part of the Brixx story.
HIGH WIND? LOW LIGNIN!
Demonstrating again that a lower lignin plant is far more flexible in wind that high lignin grain maize.
POST-CYCLONE
In addition to feed efficiency, an advantage of low lignin silage maize its its flexibility in high wind. This crop was filmed after a cyclone.
BIG COBBS
84 Day dual purpose crop running by 100+ grain maize across the road.
84 DAY BRIXX HYBRID
Shorter day maize does not mean shorter tonnage. Some Brixx 84 day RM at 10-11 feet being chopped on the North Island.
FIND THE JAG 900
Big Brixx maize on the South Island!
COMPARE and CONTRAST
A side by side comparison of Brixx maize in the field next to a competitor. THe differences between silage maize and grain maize are profound.
THE SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS
Yet another stack of perfect wetter and better Brixx maize silage. This stack exhibts the characteristic sweet smell of an Edge treated silage stack. THis particular farmer planted an additonal block of Brixx maize to take as flexible fibre and pad out his feed reserves using land that would have otherwise remained fallow after harvesting turnips.
MINI BUN ANYONE?
Quick look at the last of a Brixx maize mini bun. Clean and clod right through to the end, despite not having a cover.
HANDFEEDING THE GOODIES (BRIXX MAIZE)!
These cows allow hand feeding in order to enjoy some Edge treated Brixx silage maize. We also see a characeristic of Edge treated silage - high lactic acid profile; which cows love and converts to glucose evenly in the rumen.
TRIT AND BIOSTACK
Recycling waste and adding nitrogen to tricicale by irrigating effluent treated with Biostack.
CLEAN ALL THE THROUGH
Edge will preserve feed at virutally any dry matter. Here we a pile of maize that remains cold, even uncovered.
FAR SOUTH MAIZE PLANTED IN DECEMBER
A small but interesting pile of Brixx maize, made in 2023 in the cold far south of New Zealand. Planted December 7th or 8th of December and harvested at Easter. With Brixx flexible fibre maize frost will not ruin you! Just take it and put it up and any DM using Edge inoculant.
STONE COLD FLEXIBLE FIBRE BALES
Fully ensiled bales of 22% DM Brixx maize taken before cobbing. Flexible fibre feeds out beautifully and provides a high return on investment .
LEAKING ON THE FLOOR
Autumn calving cows leaking milk on afternoon milking when fed with Brixx silage maize treated wet with Edge inoculant.
BEAUTIFUL BALES
Clean, green and gold, all the way through.
ANNUAL GRASS BALE
Some annual grasss from a square bale. The longer material in combination with Brixx wet maize will help slow the rumen down and help maximise production.
COW'S EYE VIEW
Some lovely ladies enjoying flexible fibre maize.
HOOVERING INTO MAIZE
It is interesting to see cows refuse fresh lucerne when wet maize treated with Edge is on offer.
COWS REFUSE BEAUTIFUL PASTURE CLOVER!
Normally, a paddock of this quality would be prime feed for these cows, but when Edge treated Brixx silage maize is the other choice, they ignore it.
DON'T LET THIS BE YOU!
A large pile of maize treated with a competitive inoculant that sadly for the farmer had to be dumped. From now on, he will be using Edge for perfect feed, every time.
COLD AND GOLD
Edge treated stack of Brixx maize, clean from top to bottom.
BEES IN THE STACK?
Farmer discovers bee larve in and around his stack. Apparently, they are attracted to the sugar content and sweet smell of Edge treated maize.
WORMS EVERYWHERE!
This farmer notices the dramatic increase of worm life in maize stalks after irrigating Biostack treated effluent regularly.
OH MY GOD!
22% dry matter maize and sheep go together. And no mould!
DRIPPING WET
After making feed this wet, you might want a beer too.
WELCOME ABOARD, QUIGLEY!
Making 'lumpy' 31% dry matter feed with a happy new Hyprecision contractor!
13% OATS
Some very wet winter oats going through a Jag in winter.
8% DRY MATTER GRASS??
Edge can make silage at virtually any DM.
NORTH AMERICA'S #1 HERD
According to the data, Country Dairy has the MOST PRODUCTIVE non-GMO Dairy herd in North America! They attribute their production to the wetter, better feed they make using Edge.
BIOSTACK ON TRITICALE
A beautiful and thick paddock of trit, clover and peas all irrigated with biostack treated effluent.
IRRIGATING BIOSTACK
Pumping Biostack treated effluent is light in colour and easy to move.
PERFECT 22% DRY MATTER GRASS
Demonstrating yet again that you can make feed at any mouisture using Edge technology.
THAT SWEET SMELL
Edge treated stacks have a particularly pleasant and sweet smell. They look as nice as they smell too!
SOUTHLAND STACK
A beautiful green and gold silage stack in Southland.
PALM KERNEL WASTAGE
Some thought on PK vs Brixx silage maize.
BIOSTACK TREATED PASTURE
Beautiful mix of triticale, clover and other grasses irrigated with Biostack treated effluent.
A HUGE PILE OF MAIZE IN MICHIGAN
An outstanding (and HUGE) stack of Edge treated maize.
SWEET LUCERNE
Edge treated lucerne hayledge treated with Edge. Tacky and sticky with sugars.
PIT MANAGEMENT
35% Dry matter Edge treated Lucerne with a steep face.
FRESH CUTTING
Checking out a stock of lucerne on a windy day and seeing evidence of Edge's oxygen scvanger at work.
30% LUCERNE
Edge being used on some big lucerne in Western Michigan
THANKS, RANDY!
A visit with the first farmer anywhere in the world to use Edge inoculant and his practical advice that inspired our technology.
LOVELY LUCERNE
Gorgeous 25% DM lucerne on Central Otago without a speck of mould.
SMELLS BLOODY BEAUTIFUL!
Taking a look at a couple of bales of allsorts on the North Island.
DRY GRASS
16% lucerne and timothy hay in Michigan baled with New Holland equipment.
GRAIN MAIZE
32% grain maize stack in Canturbury. Perfect, as usual.
LUMPY GRASS
This silage went in a bit wet and lumpy, but still came out nicely. The clip highlights the need for proper stack management to maximise your labour.
EDGE BALES ON POOR QUALITY GRASS
A farmer recently commented that even poor quality grasses finish beautifully with EDGE.
