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.
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.
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.
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.
DRIPPING WET
After making feed this wet, you might want a beer too.
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.
BIOSTACK TREATED PASTURE
Beautiful mix of triticale, clover and other grasses irrigated with Biostack treated effluent.
SMELLS BLOODY BEAUTIFUL!
Taking a look at a couple of bales of allsorts on the North Island.
EDGE BALES ON POOR QUALITY GRASS
A farmer recently commented that even poor quality grasses finish beautifully with EDGE.
HELLUVA A PLACE FOR A SILAGE STACK
We get to travel to some of the most beautiful corners of New Zealand visiting customers.
GORGEOUS TRITICALE IN TAUPO
Another example of EDGE keeping high moisture triticale gold, green and fresh.
