Actually chaffing corn when it’s green is the most realistic, IRL you would not wait for it to turn to that brownish dry stage! Thanks for the info in this video!
i'm a newb in FS so please excuse my dumb question; but why even grow the corn for chaff? speaking strictly game-wise (i have no idea how real life things go) do you get so much more silage out of it, its worth all the hassle than if you just had grass and mowed it 4 times in a year (with seasons), instead of 1 corn + 1 grass yields? with seasons on, you mow your grass in March, June, Sept. and in November for max yields. considering the costs of a forage harvester and everything else (including plowing (you have to plow after corn), seeding, lime and all that fertilizing compared to simply rolling your grass after each harvest - no reseeding, no plowing, no nothing... why make chaff out of corn? game-wise....
It’s not player preference. The yield for the corn is higher …the highest in game and irl. Also cutting several times a year vs one ? Kind of a no brainer. Larger yield per year and way less than half of the work…only time it’d be player preference is if you’re role playing. Edit:even on the hardest difficulty, it’s 4 passes on your field for corn per year(not counting lime every 3 years.) less on easier difficulties, grass is a like 5 passes per cut, 5 passes to roll, and if your not running a mower in front and baler in back combo that would add another 15 passes per year if you include windrow as well, 25 passes per year vs 4 at the same time the 4 passes brings in more income………………………………. worse case scenario plant corn, harvest early, plant grass, harvest as much as you can until next corn planting, Imo that’s a lot of work though.
