More Than Seed: Management That Drives Results

At Prairie Estates Genetics, we don’t just sell seed—we provide year-round support to help you maximize your forage program.

All of our Forage Managers have harvested hundreds of thousands of acres of corn silage and haylage year after year. They have experience managing thousands of acres of high-quality forage and have worked with some of the best nutritionists in the field.

It’s easy for a seed company to say they are your partner… let us show you that a real partner is always at your side.

We work with your team

Overview

We collaborate directly with your team year-round, tracking the performance of our silage from field to milk tank. We collect agronomic and nutritional data throughout the year and provide independent laboratory testing. These results are shared with your advisors to identify opportunities to improve milk yield.

  • Select and supply specific hybrids for optimal forage value.

  • Plan and monitor the planting, growing, harvesting, fermenting and feeding of our forage genetics.

  • Lab test and make recommendations for the best production outcomes.

  • Review and share our data and observations with your team.

  • Observe and measure herd response and improve ration performance.

  • Remain in constant communication to plan next growing cycle.

  • We enhance your IOFC by providing consistency and efficiency year after year through customized service to your dairy’s needs. Our hybrids offer superior nutritional value for improved output and herd health, while also reducing the risk of yield loss during silage transitions.

  • By delivering the best total starch, rumen-available starch, and fiber digestibility among non-BMR hybrids, our genetics can generate yield gains that translate to over one dollar per head per day in improved IOFC.

  • Beyond our test plot program, wet-chemistry labs, moisture tracking, bunker audits, and feed analysis, we utilize in-house tools such as remote field mapping, drone scouting, and harvest data analysis. We continuously collaborate with genetics suppliers, agronomists, nutritionists, and industry leaders to ensure our customers remain informed and supported.

Many dairy farmers know the cost of their silage but not its true value. To calculate actual value, one must consider yield, nutritional profile, efficiency, and production costs. We help track these metrics in your barns and fields to deliver real IOFC results.

If you are not managing your Income Over Feed Cost (IOFC), you are losing profit due to feed inefficiency. PEG can help. We consult with dairies to analyze IOFC and provide insights on how to improve your bottom line.

PEG corn silage increases your IOFC in more than one way. By maximizing fiber digestibility, total starch AND starch digestibility, you can use a larger percentage of corn silage per ration, which is proven to increase feed efficiency and IOFC.
