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.
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.
LEAKING ON THE FLOOR
Autumn calving cows leaking milk on afternoon milking when fed with Brixx silage maize treated wet with Edge inoculant.
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.
COLD AND GOLD
Edge treated stack of Brixx maize, clean from top to bottom.
OH MY GOD!
22% dry matter maize and sheep go together. And no mould!
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.
PALM KERNEL WASTAGE
Some thought on PK vs Brixx silage maize.
A HUGE PILE OF MAIZE IN MICHIGAN
An outstanding (and HUGE) stack of Edge treated maize.
